Membership

TBBHC has a variety of membership options across the junior and senior sections. Once you have joined Teamo the club's data management app, you will be assigned a membership fee by the Club Admin. If you are looking to be assigned Student Membership/U18 Membership, please contact the Club Admin so it can be assigned to your account. The Club Admin can be found on the Committee and Role Holders Page.

It was ratified at the AGM that the club would have to increase its membership fees for the 2025/2026 season in line with the rising costs associated with running the club.

Membership fees are charged to cover the majority of the running costs as below (please note this list is not exhaustive):

• England Hockey Club Support Fee.
• Area and County Affiliation Fees.
• Competition Entries.
• Coaches.
• Pitches.
• Equipment – balls, bibs, cones, first aid kits etc.
• Public Liability Insurance.
• Administration costs - Teamo, DBS checks, volunteer safeguarding training.
• JTC match fees as they are incorporated in their membership.

*Those players who need to be assigned as student membership will need to contact the Club Admin to request this and provide their college/university name. The senior membership will be added as a default membership.

Match fees are charged to cover:

• Umpires.
• Mileage.
• Post-match hospitality.

The Junior Talent Centre pass will be added in addition to the JTC membership to all U16 Junior Talent Centre members who wish to train and play with senior teams (match fees will be in addition to this pass when players are selected in senior teams). At the end of each season junior members will be removed from senior league teams and those wishing to play the following season will need to contact the Club Admin to be added back in thus giving consent for the JTC Pass fee to be added to their account.

England Hockey proposed the new Clubs Membership Structure at their 2025 AGM which was voted in by the members. 

Clubs will be charged directly by EH at total cost including the Club Support Fee and the Player Registration Fee for the total members based on our affiliation figures. A brief explanation of each fee is below:

• The Club Support Fee is charged to clubs and contributes to the overhead and support services provided by EH to clubs.
• The Player Registration Fee includes personal accident cover for individual players, free coaching, officiating and safeguarding courses, free to air hockey, national fund for state schools and more inclusive hockey. This fee is non-refundable from TBBHC.

More information can be found on England Hockey’s website.

Each August the new season is set on Teamo and players are sent an email to opt in or out of joining for the following season. The new player registration fee will be charged against all opted in members accounts on the 1^st September, players who have not opted in to the new season will be removed from playing teams and in cases where there are waiting lists to join, their places will be assigned to those waiting.   IT IS IMPORTANT ALL PLAYERS OPT IN OR OUT WHEN THEY RECEIVE THE NOTIFICATION ON TEAMO.

• AutoPay is Teamo’s new and efficient way to collect payments from your users. Invoices will be grouped together forming Statements and members are debited once a month, saving the club transaction fees.
• Every month users will be charged for what they accumulated through the month. This payment is taken on the same day every month. The total will be shown to users in a Monthly Statement, which they can access in their Payments Section.
• The Monthly Statement will include things like match fees, training fees and membership instalments.
• Clubs will set a limit on how much they will charge users per month, which will be the maximum amount of money.
• It is up to each individual whether they wish to activate AutoPay on their Teamo account.

TBBHC has a bursary fund for members who may find the cost of playing hockey a financial barrier. This fund is open to anyone to apply to however, you must meet certain criteria for your application to be considered by the Executive Committee. If you are interested in finding out more about the TBBHC Bursary please contact the Club Admin.
