About Us
WELCOME TO THE ABSA RHODES HOCKEY CLUB 2009!
The ABSA Rhodes Hockey Club is the largest sports club at Rhodes University, boasting an impressive 300 members. The hockey club prides itself on being one of the most unique and fun clubs that Rhodes has to offer. We have a dedicated committee consisting of 18 members - a lot I know! But without these people, the club would fall to pieces.

The club enters eight teams into the EP Hockey League annually - four ladies teams and four men's teams. These teams have produced some excellent results in the previous seasons of the league and we hope to establish some great results this season. The club has also, for the first time this year, initiated an internal social league that will see eight mixed teams made up from club members participating. We are looking forward to, yet again, another fun-filled, eventful and exciting year.

Once you're part of our club, you're a member for life! For more information about our facilities, league etc. please contact Taryn Murray (Chairperson) at g06m0152@campus.ru.ac.za or RU.HockeyClub@gmail.com.
 
 
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM:
The ASBA Rhodes Hockey Club prides itself on having an excellent on-campus development program that was first started in 2006. The development program has grown to include three local Grahamstown schools (about 80 children). The club has also been heavily involved in some off-campus development initiatives in the past years. These include the cleaning up of two old tennis courts for the local children in the area, the Galela Amanzi Water Project, fundraising and getting a small internal running for some of the children from the local schools. For more information regarding any development initiatives, please contact our development officer. His name is Sean power g07p0013@campus.ru.ac.za.
 
SOCIAL LEAGUE:
The ASBA Rhodes Hockey Club has recently developed a fantastic social league with as many as eight teams taking part! These matches usually take place on a Friday evening with some mid-week matches also taking place. The hockey club can offer both full field social hockey as well as “indoor hockey” – a newly established facility, with construction being completed in 2011! So if competitive league hockey is not for you, please feel free to come along and join in the fun (with a little seriousness involved). For more information please contact either of our social representatives: Alan Herbert me.be.alan@gmail.com or Jason Aquandro g10a1960@campus.ru.ac.za.
