Uddingston Hockey Club is situated on the outskirts of Glasgow, and are looking for new members to play at the club, from club social members to performance players. Both of our 1st teams compete in the Scottish Premiership for both Indoor and Outdoor, and our 2s through to our 5s compete in Scottish Leagues and the West District Leagues. We strive for excellence in all we do, and so introduced these Performance Scholarships to support talented athletes and retain them in Scottish Hockey. The Scholarships cover education, finance, coaching, work placements and potential long-term employment to help our athletes focus on hockey and improve the domestic game quality in Scotland.

We have three hockey scholarship packages as well as range of specialist options available.
