Anyone with any range of talent can play for Sydney Uni. You don’t have to be at uni. We are keen for men with a passion to develop their talents or just have fun.
Sydney Uni women enjoy an immense range of talent and depth. We are fortunate to have highly competitive premier league teams that have created great success through many grades for players seeking competition and active fun. With the many teams we have an amazing network of female players passionate about their hockey and tremendously engaged socially as a club. We welcome all players of all skills. You do not have to be at uni.
At Sydney Uni our goal is to create a fun and positive environment in which our junior players can develop their skills and love for hockey. Additionally, we aim to expose our players to role models, build a sound sporting culture and provide an excellent environment in which junior players can develop. Sydney Uni (despite the name) is a full spectrum club and has hockey teams for boys and girls aged 5 to 18. Our Director of Hockey has an absolute passion for developing our young players.

As a large club we field teams ranging from the elite level to the social level. We have something to offer everyone: a strong junior’s development program, a robust master’s contingent and very successful open men’s and women’s teams catering to all playing abilities. The social side of our club is arguably one of the best in Sydney, leading to strong friendships on and off the field. This combination attracts players from interstate, rural and local areas. Our members do not need to be University of Sydney students to play.
SUHC prides itself as having the right combination of competition and community. So I encourage you to get in touch to see what we have to offer. I can assure we are a lot of fun and we love our hockey. Come and join us for a training session and meet our members.
