Volunteers are the lifeblood of community sport – without them, a large proportion of grassroots sport and physical activity simply wouldn't happen. CCHC is no different - we are a club run by members, for the members.
You don't have to be a qualified coach, or great at hockey, or have always played it, to volunteer. Everybody has something to offer.
Why Volunteer?
How can you help?
Some people are able to give more time than others, and any help members or their parents can offer is much appreciated. There are a wide variety of roles within the club, and whether it’s organising socials, helping with our PR, pulling on an umpire shirt, or doing the admin, there is always room for more help!
And with the recent and planned growth of CCHC, there’s even more to do.
In addition we would love to see Young Leaders get involved in helping to deliver hockey within the club.
If you would like to help, check out the info on this page, or contact:
We are keen to support any junior who wishes to take on a Young Leader role within the club, with opportunities to volunteer at our junior training sessions.
Volunteering is a great way to gain confidence, and new skills to support university or job applications; leadership, communication skills, dependability, time management, and decision making.
Many young members may wish to use hockey for their Duke of Edinburgh.
This could be as a physical activity for those who already play, a new skill for those new to the sport (playing or umpiring), or volunteering at our junior training sessions.
Skill/Physical Section
Please ensure you ask/make your coach aware that you would like to use hockey for your Duke of Edinburgh at the beginning of the season.

Whichever section of your Duke of Edinburgh award you are working towards, please download & print our CCHC DofE log sheet. You should get this signed at each session so we can keep track, and sign off your activity once completed.
Why Umpire?
FAQs
Who can umpire? Anyone. You can take the L1 theory course once you are 14+.
Does it cost anything? Once you pass your L1 we will refund the course cost
Do I have to umpire every week? Nope. Whatever you can do is great!
How do I get started?
Take the L1 Umpiring Course
This is an online course (over a single evening) that is easy to book onto via the England Hockey Hub on a date and time that suits you. If you are successful in completing the online course you will be a 'Level 1 - Unassessed Umpire'. The course costs £30 which the club will refund if you go on to be assessed and obtain your full Level 1 qualification.
In order to take the course, you will need to be registered on the England Hockey Hub:
While waiting for the course, you will need to take the "Rules of Hockey" module in your own time.
Once logged into the Hockey Hub – Officiating Tab – Rules of Hockey. You can also download the hockey rule book from there.
What next?
Once you have completed the course contact Tim Ireland (see below) to organise some umpire coaching and opportunities to start practising your umpiring.
