Hockey or Field Hockey as it is known in some parts of the world, is a stick and ball game with origins dating back thousands of years. It is traditionally played on grass, but more often these days - especially at the top levels and in certain countries - hockey is played on synthetic surfaces.
Hockey Development
In Glasgow a broad variety of opportunities to play, coach and officiate schools, clubs and performance development squads is available.
