Lions U16 Training is back on a Thursday evening from 3rd September 2026, running from 6:00 to 7:15pm. All new players are welcome whatever their experience with games each Saturday in the Sussex Development League.

We are a very inclusive group of hockey players and have had some great success and enjoyment - young or old, across all our leagues. Please come down on a Thursday evening and check in at Southdown Club reception.

As well as our Saturday Lions we also play in the England Hockey Tier 2 Boys U16 league - a little more travel to the likes of Woking, Epsom, Reigate, Guildford and Marsden Russetts, though great experience and chance for those U16 boys who have progressed up our club into Mens Hockey to play with their piers. This year we are proud to say our U16 Boys Lost NO games in this group other than on shuffles in their league cup - phenomenal!!

League games on Saturdays start from 19th September where we will run one development team in the Sussex Development League, as well as on Sundays in the England Hockey Tier 2 Leagues for a competitive U14 & U16 match. Lots of hockey to organise so availability at the ready please - Philip, Liam and Viv will need you!

Philip Brown is boys club manager of all sides - contact via contacts page (see below)

U16s able to play in a Mens side will be invited to join mens training from 7:15 on Thursdays which is expected to start on Thursday 3rd September too.
