Any lads play field hockey on here?

[e5]

Just wondering if theres any other people on here that play field hockey, and if so what sort of level do you play at?

I was offered yorkshire trials a few years ago but turned them down cos im gay! I play for my local team, and in the Yorkshire Hockey Association Premier League which is the top league in there which is a fairly high standard.

I love playing hockey. Alot of people say its for girls, but its really more than just a girls sport! I got all my mates pretty much into playing it too!

Sorry couldn't edit:

Or anyone like it? or feel like they wanna play it? or if not why? :) x

I'd just like to hear thoughts & opinions!

Oh, gosh, Elliott! Why would you turn it down just because you like guys? Is it really homophobic on the team or something? You poor thing!

I play field hockey :)

I played for the north east until last year because I didn't really have time for all the travelling and stuff. It was a big commitment to have to go to every training session and stuff too :(

Im in my school first team still though.

Oh really? I think North East is the division above York Prem for us! Yeah. Hockey is a big commitment of mine, but it's something I am actually really passionate about and will make sure I do my best to make our teah the best. As well as playing in the Prem, I help out around our other teams and also captain one of our sides which is great experience and I love helping them out. Of course there is a vice captain for when I play higher.

Thanks for being the one to take that a bit too literally! haha.

I used to play for the West of England i'm giving up after my final school IX match tomorrow because I prefer playing football and would rather carry that on at uni but i've play for my island first team for years and at respective age levels :-) used to love it - got bored and now only play for school until tomorrow!

Oh on it being a girls sport it's more popular for men where I live and played to a high standard!

I would loved to have played it, seems like a decent sport. Lack of interest around me turned me to prefer cricket.

Yeah its a great sport :-)

Falling over hurts though - I slipped whilst taking a shot last week and I ripped so much skin off my knuckles, stung so much as the salt and sand on the pitch got into it too :/

I scored the goal though lol
