How will the process of paying for our membership change? - club perspective

Clubs will continue to pay the fee to England Hockey and fees will not be collected by England Hockey directly from players (unless they are paying for additional courses or services from England Hockey).

Each year in April, England Hockey will send clubs a breakdown of costs for the forthcoming season to allow clubs to review the proposed costs and factor these into their budgets for the following season, including setting their own club membership fees. 

Once fees are agreed with clubs, clubs will be sent invoices in September payable by the end of October as is currently the case. This should allow clubs to manage cashflow in line with subscription deadlines.
