With the first season taking place in 2019-20, both Men’s and Women’s Premier (National) leagues feature 9 teams with teams playing each other once either home or away with the top placed team crowned league winners.
Following the league season, the top 6 teams will progress to the National Championship, while teams placed 7-9 will compete in the National Vase. At the end of the season the team finishing in 9th place will be automatically relegated to Premier (North/South) and the tea, in 8th place competing in a playoff to fight for their spot.
The calendars are scheduled carefully with collaboration from GB Hockey to ensure the BUCS programme can act as a pathway to international representation, with players frequently progressing to Elite Development Programme squads as well as competing in the high-level domestic competitions.
