HM has grown considerably in the last year- it is very competitive to get a place on the high-performance programme or get selected for HM teams in the competitions programme. This open day is another access point for new players to be seen in a relaxed environment and an opportunity for players to get more of a feel for HM.

Any player keen to push on their hockey and is more serious about it. They would generally be playing county level or above but we recognise sometimes players don’t do county for a variety of reasons.

No- they will be seen on the high-performance programme. Some players local to Cambridge Uni will be asked in as guest players to help us assess the relative standard of new players but players on the high-performance programme should not buy places.

No- they have already been talent spotted. Some 1st XI players local to Cambridge Uni will be asked in as guest players to help us assess the relative standard of new players but players in the 1st XI should not buy places.
