Indoor Hockey UK is set to launch a new event in the indoor hockey calendar - the London Grand Slam - scheduled to take place at the K2 Arena in Crawley. This exciting addition aims to bring together teams from across the UK for 2 days of high-intensity competition

A New Chapter in Indoor Hockey

The London Grand Slam will feature a range of age groups, from Under 10 through to Under 18 categories, offering a platform for both emerging talent and seasoned players to showcase their skills. The event is expected to draw significant participation, giving the older age groups the opportunity to take part in a competitive tournament before England's Indoor Season officially begins. Dates for team entry have not yet been announced, but we will confirm details following the completion of the Derby Grand Slam taking place from 24 - 26 May 2025. This new chapter does not impact any of Indoor Hockey UK's other events, with both the Championships and Derby Grand Slam continuing in their established December and May calendar months, respectively, both confirmed for 2025 and 2026!

State-of-the-Art Venue

The K2 Arena, located in Crawley, is renowned for its versatile sports facilities. 10-minutes from London Gatwick Airport, the venue boasts three indoor hockey courts, ample free parking, an on-site café, and additional amenities such as a climbing wall, swimming pool, sauna, and steam room - providing a comprehensive experience for players and spectators alike. Having hosted the 2023 Indoor Hockey UK Championships, the feedback received after that event was so great we had to find a way to return to this spectacular and popular venue.

Looking Ahead

The introduction of the London Grand Slam underscores Indoor Hockey UK's commitment to expanding the reach and appeal of indoor hockey across the country. By offering a high-profile platform for competition and community engagement, the event is poised to become a staple in the indoor hockey calendar.

More information on team entry, spectator tickets and event updates, will be published on the website in the run up to the event. Stay tuned for further announcements as the inaugural London Grand Slam approaches.
