Founded in 1921, Marden Russets Hockey Club has a long and illustrious history of first-rate hockey.
In the 1980s an ambitious junior programme was launched, driven by Jeremy Barham, a former England & GB international. It mushroomed into one of the largest youth hockey schemes in Kent and this pioneering work has paid dividends over many seasons since.
Marden Russets have established a reputation as a dynamic, friendly club. Moving to a new ground just outside Marden in 2017, the club has seen membership grow significantly.
Today there are 8 Men’s teams, 5 Women’s teams and some 400 juniors playing hockey across all ages.
A comprehensive team of coaches and well orchestrated training sessions ensure skills are kept sharp, with plenty of fun too.

Marden Hockey Club’s Young Leader programme plays an important role in the success of the junior section. The Young Leaders provide invaluable support to coaches, both on a practical level and by inspiring the youngsters to improve and enjoy their hockey.
Young Leaders benefit from a fun, rewarding and confidence building experience. The scheme helps develop key communication skills on the training pitch and is a great opportunity to fulfil Duke of Edinburgh volunteering and earn some extra money whilst adding to a CV.
