Borlase Hockey
Borlase Hockey is one of the leading state school hockey clubs in the country with over 300 members, a number of current and past junior internationals and recent success in indoor and outdoor regional / national competitions.
The club has over 300 members and around ten experienced coaches, who all work closely with the full-time Director of Hockey. The coaches are also ably supported by our enthusiastic students, who provide inspiration and set an example for the younger year groups.
National and regional finalists, regional qualifiers and county champions have contributed to the success of the club in recent years and, on an individual level, players have been selected for County, Performance Centre and Futures Cup squads. A number have also gone on to represent their country at U16 and U18 level.
Nathan Monk works as our Director of Hockey as we continue to keep Borlase Hockey moving forward, while maintaining the strong link with local hockey clubs, namely Marlow Hockey Club, for which a number of our coaches also work.
For more details about Borlase Hockey please email Nathan via hockey@swbgs.com.
Borlase Hockey is supported by a fantastic group of coaches, ranging from young leaders to experienced national title winners.
