Welcome to Avoca Hockey Club! Whether you’re a returning member or thinking about joining us for the first time, this page will guide you through the membership process for the 2026/27 season. Please read the information carefully, as the process differs for existing members and new members.
Existing Members
If you were a member last season, renewal is straightforward:
Renew by 31st August to avoid a late fee.
Memberships must be renewed by 30th September at the latest. After this date, you will not be permitted to attend training or play in matches until your membership is complete.
A late registration fee of €50 applies after 31st August.
The late fee does not apply to members who are already paid up but change category mid-season (e.g. U18 → Adult, Social → Adult Playing).
Student (3rd Level) members must provide valid proof of student status.
All members must also complete their Hockey Ireland membership (€30) by 30th September. Complete using this link: Membership - Hockey Ireland
New Members
We’re delighted that you’re considering joining our club!
Most sections of Avoca have space, but some categories are full and operate a waiting list. To ensure your request is processed correctly, all new members must apply through the waiting list first.
New members → must apply via the waiting list.
What is the Hockey Ireland membership?
All members must also register separately with Hockey Ireland, which carries an annual fee of €30 for adults and €20 for juniors.
Registration with Hockey Ireland is mandatory for all players.
It provides essential insurance cover and allows members to play in official competitions.
This must be completed by 30th September.
Note: Hockey Ireland membership for the 2026/27 season will open in July.
