Sport

Hockey

Hockey is one of the three major sports that are played during the autumn and spring terms. It is a compulsory part of the curriculum for girls in LC1 and LC2 and can be continued as an option from LC3 upwards. There is an extensive fixture list arranged for the season which includes weekday fixtures against local schools as well as matches against other boarding schools on Saturday afternoons. There are also interhouse matches for all year groups. In addition to matches against other schools and colleges CLC enters the following tournaments and competitions:

• U19 West of England Indoor Tournament
• U18 British Aerospace Competition
• U16 British Aerospace Competition
• U16 Gloucestershire County Tournament
• U16 West of England Indoor Tournament
• U15 National Schools' Cup Competition
• U14 Gloucestershire County Tournament
• U13 Mini-Hockey Gloucestershire County Championships

We also encourage girls who are of a high enough standard to attend Gloucestershire County Trials and satellite coaching sessions. We advertise summer coaching camps which girls often take part in as a means of further developing their skills and talents. There are regular hockey tours abroad to destinations such as South Africa , New Zealand , Australia , Holland and Ireland .

The teams train together once a week during curriculum time, and once a week in the evening as part of the clubs and practices programme. There is a hockey goalie club organised especially for the goal keepers. There is also an indoor hockey club which trains once a week. The college plays in an indoor league and enters into the National Indoor Tournament.

College girls, of various ages, regularly represent Gloucestershire and we are delighted to have some of our best players representing the West of England.
