St Albans Hockey Club has a proud indoor record and has won the men's National Indoor Club Championship on eight occasions (1985, 1988-92, 1994, 1997).

Our Indoor Team Partners are people who are willing to help us raise some extra funding for our indoor squads: women and men. We hope this will appeal to many of our players and families. Becoming an Indoor Team Partner involves signing up to a gift of £9 per month (or a single annual payment of £108), preferably gift- aided.

We will account separately as to the use of the revenue raised from our Indoor Team Partners and report as to how we are using it. We need and will use the revenue generated from Indoor Team Partners for initiatives which support (equally) our women’s and men’s indoor teams. We are a fully amateur club, with CASC status, and we do not and will not pay players to play for our Club. But there are many expenses involved in running indoor teams and giving them the best chance of success.

The sorts of further initiative which this would be supporting could be things like:

• additional specialist coaching
• extra physio treatment and equipment
• recovery (eg. ice-bath) equipment
• travel and accommodation expenses for indoor tournaments
• video recording and video analysis equipment
• additional training equipment
• new training and playing kit
• additional costs of hosted events or special trips

Our pledge to our Indoor Team Partners is that they will receive (if they wish):

• regular information about club activities
• named recognition in the clubroom at Oaklands, on the club’s website and in the club handbook
• report as to how the revenue was spent on indoor team initiatives
• invitation to special club events and to sit with the indoor teams at match teas
