Men’s Football is very popular, with a large number of students attending trials each year. The club has five teams and trials are the main opportunity to be selected. If you miss the trials, it is very unlikely that you will be able to join a team later in the year, so we strongly recommend attending if you would like to be considered.

The club also runs Brooke5ide, a 5-a-side league which offers another way to play football at Brookes. This takes place on Saturdays from 17:30–21:30 on the STP Astro outside Headington Sports Centre and will start on Saturday 26 September. Complete this Google Form to express your interest in Brooke5ide. Follow the club on Instagram @brookesfootballmen) for further information and updates.

Competitive Men’s & Women’s Hockey Trials are for students looking to represent Oxford Brookes in our BUCS hockey teams, with four Men’s and four Women’s teams.

Trials will take place in a competitive but supportive environment and will assess different areas of your game through a mixture of drills and small-sided games.

Following the first trial, selected players will be invited to a second trial on Wednesday 23 September. This session will allow us to further assess your abilities within your specific position through training activities and larger-sided match play.

Selection will be based on your overall performance throughout the trial, rather than individual moments, so work hard, get involved and show us what you can do!

What to bring: Appropriate playing kit, gum shield, shin pads, hockey stick (please let us know if you don’t have access to one), astro shoes or suitable trainers, water bottle, sun cream if needed, any required medication and, most importantly, a positive attitude!

Cost: £3 for the first trial.
