Field Hockey is the second largest team sport in the world and is played in over 100 countries. We fall under the Southern Gauteng Hockey Association (SGHA) and follow their values regarding the sport of hockey. The Association is committed to operating with integrity, openness, and respect to ensure that our tradition of field hockey excellence is preserved in Southern Gauteng and that our sport is open to people of all ages, skill levels and abilities.
At least 80% of the girls at Bryanston Parallel play hockey. No one is turned away as it is a skill that needs to be developed.
We have so many teams that we made the decision to enrol into two leagues, D9 & D10.
- A- and C- teams play in the D9 - league
- B- teams play in the D10 league
- D- teams play in tournaments
