Welcome to Repton HC’s ninth season. When the club was formed in May 2016, it was unknown what we could achieve, but the founding team had some truly inspirational goals. Our initial aim was to provide high-quality coaching to juniors and build a pool of talented players. In our second season, we entered adult teams into the Derbyshire and Midlands league system with a view to reaching the England Hockey National Leagues as quickly as possible.

The adult teams have progressed up the leagues each year, a phenomenal achievement involving commitment from coaches, managers, players and our supporters. As the Men now join the Women in the England Hockey National Leagues, 2024/25 is a monumental season in the club's history.

Our coaches plan and work hard, and the players invest in this process and bring talent and dedication, and our results reflect this. Importantly, we create a sense of community because we have so many volunteers and supporters behind the scenes making this all happen. Without this motivation and invaluable support, we could not harness this talent or achieve as much as we do.

We look forward to welcoming our opposition over the course of the season and providing a hospitable Repton welcome. Most importantly, we want to wish the teams good luck and thank the coaches and players who, week in and week out, make this all happen.

Best wishes,

Simon Cossey and John Tarrant
Co-Chairs, Repton HC
