Overview
The club operates using Pitchero. Pitchero is a web-based platform that hosts our website and enables team management and communication with parents and players. It also allows you to set up payments for membership and access team only information. By clicking 'Join' on our homepage you are effectively registering with the club through Pitchero.
Go to bromsgrovehockey.org.uk and use the link in the top right of the page to 'Join'.
Note: We advise completing registration (Steps 1, 2 & 3 below) using a desktop computer as the mobile version does not always show the relevant options.
IMPORTANT: Pitchero is designed to have one (or both) parents registered individually using your own email address and contact details. The parent(s) account can then link a child account, which should only hold the child's DOB. Data protection prohibits holding personal contact details of anyone under the age of 14.

For U6/U8 players only there is also an option to pay membership in 2 instalments, as we appreciate it is a large financial commitment upfront if your child/children has not played before.

Please contact Membership Officer Steve Longbottom, who can assign this package to your pitchero account on request (click the link on his name above to open a contact form).

Please go onto the website/ap asap and update your/your child/children’s availability for the relevant matches/tournaments to allow the Coaches and Captains to make selection decisions. If for any reason their availability subsequently changes, this can be easily amended.
