Gender Equality at England Hockey

England Hockey is committed to ensuring that there is open access to all those who wish to participate in the sport and that they are they're treated fairly. It is also committed to confronting and eliminating discrimination because of any protected characteristic - age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race (including ethnic origin, nationality and colour) religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation.

As a team sport, hockey is unusual and in a fortunate position that our clubs and leagues teams are pretty evenly split across the men’s and women’s games. We’re rightly proud of being seen to be a gender-equal sport. At the very elite level, we have had high-performing teams in England and GB for many years. Our playing membership is strong and delivers opportunities for women and girls through to the very top.
