Field hockey in the Cayman Islands has been played since 1981. We train on astroturf year round, field full men's and women's XIs, and welcome anybody who picks up a stick.
One great advantage of living in the Cayman Islands is year-round field hockey. Pick whichever session suits you.
Monday, 6pm, year round
The Annex Sports Field, School Road, George Town
The main weekly session, and the easiest place to start. It is an informal, all-in affair: scratch teams are made up of whoever turns up. If numbers are large we split into several teams and play round-robin style.
Sporadically through the year
Camana Bay Sports Field, Cayman International School, 95 Minerva Drive
The bigger end of the week. We ramp the action up on the last Saturday of the month and encourage as many players to turn out, coolers included, for a field-side tailgate session.
A weekly session when ladies are available
The Annex Sports Field, School Road, George Town
Combined with the Monday mixed game whenever enough ladies would like a game. The extra session has brought more women into the club, and the standard of skills and play shows the benefit of it.
Sporadically through the year
Astroturf pitches around the island
More competitive hockey between four standing teams: Blues, Greens, Reds and Yellows.
Astroturf is unforgiving on bare feet, so sturdy trainers matter more than you would expect. Shinpads and a mouthguard are the two pieces of protection worth spending money on.
All games are played on non-hockey regulation artificial grass pitches.
The club runs on the support of local businesses. These three support us, and we are grateful for it.

Astroturf is unforgiving on bare feet, so sturdy trainers matter more than you would expect. Shinpads and a mouthguard are the two pieces of protection worth spending money on. Hockey gloves are optional for a first session but make the stick feel far better. If you have no stick of your own, someone will always lend you one for the night.

Chris Johnson brought hockey sticks to Grand Cayman.
The club's first overseas tour, to Nassau in the Bahamas.
A full eleven was fielded, with help from a couple of Rugby Club members. They managed a draw. The photograph above is from a club tour to the Bahamas in the 1980s; the archive dates it only by decade.
Accepted into the International Hockey Federation at Seoul.
Miami, West Palm Beach, Atlanta, and recently Jamaica.
Trips to Miami against the Manatee Club became an annual event, followed by West Palm Beach, Atlanta and, more recently, Jamaica. Visiting teams to Cayman were largely limited to British naval ships and the occasional Florida Manatees, until May 2011 when Jamaica came to play, and have returned since.
From a cricket field to full men's and women's XIs.
Nothing matches that yet. Try another filter, or ask the committee.
Sessions are informal and all-in, but the club also runs the Cayman Hockey Festival, hosts visiting sides and runs tours to Jamaica, Tampa, Atlanta for various tournaments. There is a level for everyone, from someone who has never held a stick to a full international XI.

Chris Johnson brought some hockey sticks to Grand Cayman. The club played on the agricultural grounds that doubled as the island's cricket field, then on the John Gray school playground. The leading lights were Derek Abrahams, Casey Gill, Tim Haddleton and Johnson himself.
The first overseas tour, to Nassau in the Bahamas. With the help of a couple of Rugby Club members a full eleven was fielded. They managed a draw and a defeat, and the seeds of touring were sown.
Visits to Washington and the JFK Kennedy Memorial tournament.
At the Seoul Olympics the club, formally the Cayman Islands Hockey Federation, was accepted into the International Hockey Federation, and became part of the Pan American Hockey Federation.
Trips to Miami against the Manatee Club became an annual event, followed by West Palm Beach, Atlanta and, more recently, Jamaica. In May 2011 we welcomed a full Jamaican ladies team.
The club plays on astroturf pitches and fields full men's and women's XIs, with two regular mixed games a week. We host the Cayman Hockey Festival and the men's team competes in the Tampa Cup in Florida each October.
