Where passion meets advocacy for field hockey.
What is Every Pitch Matters?
To visit every hockey club in England.
But this project is about far more than simply travelling from club to club.
Every Pitch Matters exists to shine a light on the people, places and communities that keep grassroots hockey alive every single week.
Behind every pitch are:
​
-
volunteers giving up evenings and weekends
-
coaches developing players of all ages
-
committees balancing rising costs
-
parents travelling thousands of miles
-
clubs fighting to protect facilities
-
communities built through sport
From national league clubs to single-pitch community sides, every club has a story worth telling.
This project aims to:
​
-
Showcase grassroots hockey across England
-
Highlight the importance of accessible facilities
-
Celebrate volunteers and community spirit
-
Document club stories and hockey culture
-
Raise awareness around the challenges facing grassroots sport
-
Connect the hockey community through one shared journey
At the heart of the project is a simple belief:
A pitch is never just a pitch.
It is a place where friendships are formed, confidence is built, stress is escaped, communities come together and future generations discover the sport.

PHASE 1 - UNLOCK THE PROJECT
The hockey community has been challenged to help reach 10,000 followers before the project moves into the next phase.
Why?
Because a project of this scale can only happen with genuine backing from the grassroots hockey community itself.
This is not just Hockey Uncut’s project.
This is the hockey community’s project.
And this is only the beginning.
