Hi Walsh!
I am an enthusiastic (but not a very good) field hockey player. I've played only one season so far but would love to continue in playing while in Brussels.
I will be arriving in Brussels in March - I am aware that the hockey season does come to an end roughly at that time but do you guys do summer league by any chance?
Kind regards,
Marianna

Hi,
I have played hockey in Australia for many years and am moving to Brussels in August for 1 year. I would really appreciate any information about the (female) field hockey season in Belgium:
- what dates does the season start/end?
- how much does it cost?
- is it easy to join a club?
- how competitive is the league?
- does it matter if I don't speak French?
- I will probably only bring my mouthguard, so would it be possible to borrow a stick/shinpads for the season?
Thank you for your help!
there are about a dozen clubs in Brussels region, contact the ones nearest where you're likely to live and ask them the questions. The link to the map of them is above already.

Hi,
great! I primarily play ice hockey and floorball in the Czech Republic (AC Sparta Praha) but when I was living in the UK I played field hockey for a while and I would love to get back to that during my stay in Brussels. Is that fine with you? Where do you train? and if you are ok with me when do the trainings start?
Thanks a lot.

Hi!
I'm a 19-year-old girl from Finland and I would very much like to try field hockey. I love sports and I have played floorball many years. It really is similar sport so it would be awesome to play field hockey. I'm living in Brussels at the moment and I'm working as an au pair. So, do you have a ladies group playing field hockey and is it possible to join? I don't have any equipment so can I lend them somewhere?
I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
Hi
Good to hear that you might be interested to join us.
We have quite a lot of expats in our ladies teams if you want to try you can come this Wednesday evening or next week for testing it.
We can lend you a stick that is not a problem let me know when you come.
If you send me you details via private message i can give you more information and my contact number.
Looking forward to hear something from you soon.
Regards
Vinc

Hi!
I have a high school aged daughter (16yo) who currently plays on her school team as well as local teams in the off season. We are considering a move to Belgium and would like to know if you all play Field Hockey as part of high school sports.
Also considering London and Stuttgart, Germany if you have any info on those locations.
Thanks in advance,
