Keep Safe
At Clifton Robinsons we pride ourselves on the emphasis we place on training for all sections of the club, looking to develop all members from the elite end, to the under 8’s, to the “Back to Hockey” groups. Everyone trains and therefore we are always looking to recruit coaches into the club. Whether you are an ambitious coach looking to push up into the elite levels of hockey, or an experienced coach looking for a change or a new club, to somebody who thinks they’d like to get into coaching, there are roles at Clifton Robinsons for you. We can provide support in courses, mentoring and a wide array of sessions / teams / standards to suite your needs.
The current posts we are specifically recruiting for are:

As a club we are looking to step up our efforts in the field of Umpiring and look to develop umpires appropriate for all the level’s of hockey that we play. In order to help us achieve this ambition, we are looking to recruit senior / experienced umpires into the club who could drive forward the develoment or our umpires through mentoring and support. If you are a senior umpire looking to associate with a new club, then please get in touch through [email protected] as we’d love to hear from you.
Well we also want to hear from you. You’re extremely welcome to join our community here at Clifton Robinsons where we would faciliate your umpiring needs with games, mentoring, development as you wish, and also hope to provide you with much more to participate in depending on what floats your boat. We have mixed hockey, veterans games and training, a multitude of social events throughout the season and much more. Get in touch if you want to find out more on [email protected].

With No School or Work, and No Hockey Training, are you all going mad yet?
Can the availability of a Hockey Stick & Ball to practice in the garden help?
As members of Clifton Robinsons we can all benefit with 20% off Grays Sticks on their website; and there are other stick options available!
You may or may not know, in addition to being the Kit Manager for CRHC, I am pleased to have the personal stick support of Alien Hockey, for whom in return, I act as an Agent – I can therefore offer their Stick range at a greatly discounted price, especially for CRHC members.
If you’re after a stick, check out their brand at – https://alienhockey.co.uk/sticks/ – but when you look at the prices, I will be able to deduct between 30% & 40% off the RRP!
Junior Composite Sticks; I have a number in stock, at a range of stick lengths, and again great discounts can be applied. See the photo for a number of Junior Sticks I have at home – the prices of these will range from just £25 to £35.
With the need of Social Distancing – I could even deliver a stick (and a Practice Ball if you need one) whilst cycling around on my “Daily Permitted” exercise!
Get in touch, by phone if you wish (07889 016047) and we can chat through your needs

Hello everyone
As you will all now be aware following announcements that all Training this week, and all Matches at the weekend, are Cancelled or Postponed, we must also be realistic and have faced reality and POSTPONED the Celebration Day on 28th March.
Being positive, it means when we are able to reschedule this celebration event / day, we will be able to make it even bigger, and even better.
Stay Safe / Keep well, and we all look forward to getting back together as soon as is sensible for all.
Regards and best wishes to all in Clifton Robinsons HC, and all your Families & Friends
*Update 16/03/2020. All training this week has been cancelled. We will issue further updates soon.*
England Hockey statement 13.03.2020. To check for any further updates visit the England Hockey website.
As elsewhere in society, the Coronavirus is impacting the current
and future activities of England Hockey. Below details England
Hockey’s position in relation to community hockey, the England
Hockey AGM, international fixtures and England Hockey offices.
Community hockey
Community hockey will continue to take place unless we are
advised otherwise by government, and we will continue to update
the Hockey Family on the situation. Please check with your local
league if you are unsure if the game is going to take place. We
would encourage all players to follow the widely available
guidance of public health with regards to people maintaining good
hygiene to avoid spreading of the Covid-19 virus.
In a hockey context, we would advise clubs and other hockey
venues to ensure washing facilities have appropriate provision of
hygiene products and urge players to follow the public health
guidance in environments where they are in close proximity to
others. If any players, officials or coaches are feeling unwell,
please follow the government’s advice to self-isolate and
therefore do not take part in hockey-related activities. We also
recommend our more elderly players and officials consider whether
they should take part in hockey activity.
All players and officials are responsible for their own safety
equipment (goalkeeping kit, facemasks, mouth guards, whistles,
shin pads etc) and we would encourage everyone to ensure they are
clean and not shared amongst team-mates.
Instead of the traditional handshake at the start and end of the
game, we are encouraging players to tap sticks – watch the video here Tap sticks
A warm smile and thanks of appreciation to officials may be more
appropriate at this current time.
England Hockey AGM – Tuesday 17 March
The AGM will take place as planned unless circumstances change.
The meeting at Bisham Abbey begins at 7:30pm. If you are
uncomfortable attending in the circumstances then duly authorised
representatives are advised that you can instruct a proxy to cast
your votes until 7:30pm on Sunday 15 March. Please click here for
more information.
FIH Hockey Pro League & England Hockey domestic Finals
England Hockey is continuing to monitor government advice in
relation to the hosting of events. At this juncture, there are no
changes to our advertised programme. We will keep participants,
ticket buyers and other stakeholders informed if this position
changes.
International teams’ tour to South Africa
The GB men’s and women’s squads were both due to travel to South
Africa on Sat 13 Mar for warm weather training camps (with match
play for the women) as part of their Tokyo preparations. After
due consideration, it has been concluded that this is not in the
best interest of players and staff, and they will not be
travelling. With no international programme activity over the
weekend of 13 and 14 Mar, players are available for selection for
the final Men’s and Investec Women’s Hockey League matches of the
season.
England Hockey Offices
England Hockey offices remain open for business. In the event the
situation escalates and we need to close the offices, we are
confident we have the capability to continue to provide services
to our customers, through home working and mobile applications.
Here are the intended shirts; with costs depending on the numbers ordered – Assuming there are 25+ ordered, the costs will be £17 for the Polo; £16 for the Training T shirt
