In 2025 London Hockey will again be looking to field 17 Masters age group representative squads from men’s O35-75 and women’s O35-65, plus a women’s O70 7 a-side squad.
Each year all age group squads will compete in an England Hockey Area Tournament in May/June. These tournaments are hosted by different Areas of the country. They are fun, popular and competitive. In 2024 over 2,000 players, officials and umpires participated!

If you are aged 35 by 31st December 2025 and play for a London club or London border club (see Masters Clubs List) and would like to join London Masters to trial for an age group squad.
Please complete the London Masters Registration form and we will be in touch.

If this is inspiring you, there’s lots more! If you represent the London, you may be put forward for England trials in the autumn for the following year. Each world Masters Hockey year alternates between European or World Championships. So lots to play for.
