WELCOME FROM RICH BEER, ENGLAND HOCKEY
We are delighted to be kicking off our outdoor hockey events programme for 2026 with the finals for our Schools Vase finals.
We are now in the fifth season of the new schools’ championships framework and the Vase competitions are designed to offer an opportunity for schools, who are not competing at the highest level a chance, to participate in a national final. Schools participating today have qualified from each of the eight Areas that now govern the sport across the country. We thank the local organisers of those competitions for their support.
We congratulate the teams who have reached the finals and hope that they enjoy the experience of playing in a tournament with their peers from around the country.
Our thanks go to all the team officials who have dedicated a lot of time to the development of each team. We know that their commitment is very much appreciated by the players and parents. Thanks also go to the umpires and officials who give their time freely to run the tournaments in a structured and fair manner. All of you are part of the thousands of people in our sport who continue to help hockey move forwards.
You will see our Pro League matches advertised elsewhere in the programme. With tickets from £8 for Under 18s, it would be great to see young players from this tournament looking to learn from the England men’s & women’s squads and enjoying our excellent international event experience.
We are delighted to be back in the East Midlands just a week after our very successful Super 6s finals day at Derby Arena for our first visit of 2026 to the Nottingham Hockey Centre. The centre has always been at the forefront of developing hockey facilities. Working with their partners to create a venue with five pitches is an amazing achievement and is coupled with excellent on-event support.
This allows us to host days such as today, bringing almost 400 young people together to play our fantastic sport. We hope it is a memorable day for you all.
