England Masters Hockey is entirely self-funded. It is estimated that each squad member will need to raise at least £3000 to represent their country at this year’s World Cup and Home Nations. These are essential costs, such as travelling to regular training days, pitch hire, personal kit (sticks, shoes, protection), sports massages, England playing kit (on and off field), flights, accommodation, meals, insurance, and competition entry.
It's an honor to be selected to represent your country and the pinnacle of a player’s career. So we would love you to join us and be a part of something special by helping the England Masters squad achieve their hockey dreams! The funds raised here will be shared amongst the team. Any size donation will make a real difference and help motivate and inspire us to bring home another medal! You can find us on social media. We’re thankful for all donations from cash to auction donations and would be happy to mention/tag individual and business supporters throughout our campaign.
The Hockey Masters World Cup is being held in Auckland, New Zealand (3rd-18th November). The Home Nations were held in Cork earlier in the year where we brought home Gold. Our squad of 20 players and the management team, are incredibly proud and excited and we are all looking forward to representing England at the World Cup tournament!
We are unable to seek formal and official sponsorship due to legal / contract reasons with our parent NGB so we are looking to raise some of the funds needed here and would like to reach out to friends, family, and businesses to help us on our road to success.
Last year England Masters Hockey brought home Gold in both the Home Nations and the Europeans. We are very excited at the prospect of more competition at the World Cup and hope to improve on our silver medals in the 2022 World Cup..
If you are a local business, please pledge by donating things we can offer to our supporters. We will give you a shout out!
