Welcome to Belper Ladies Hockey Club

Belper Ladies Hockey Club was established in 1920 and has grown into one of the most successful clubs in the Midlands. Our junior achievements are without parallel in the country. At present we have six senior teams competing in National, Regional and County leagues. Whatever your ambitions you will be able to realise them at Belper. We are an enthusiastic, high-achieving, well organized friendly club, enjoying strong links with the men's club and a great family atmosphere.

The success of our first team in the Slazenger National League is testament to the many strengths of the club. Last season we finished third and this season will continue to play in the National Women's Conference North. Our second team last season won promotion to Midlands Division Two in 2008/2009. Our remaining four teams play in the Derbyshire County League. At present we have one adult and one youth team, in each of the two divisions. Whatever your standard, we will be able to offer you a level of hockey that you will find enjoyable. We have excellent coaches and run weekly training sessions for all, including a fast-track group for talented juniors.

All this is happens on our water based pitch at Belper Meadows. Our Clubmark status was reaccredited in 2008, which recognises that we provide a safe, effective and child friendly hockey environment for young people. We are justifiably proud of our junior players achievements in national competitions.

In 2009 we won two national titles, retaining the U18 National Cup and the Indoor U18 title. We are always looking to improve our squads and welcome players of all standards and ages. If you would like to be part of our success as a player, umpire or coach and help to build on our achievements then please contact us.
