Union High School has a proud and growing hockey tradition that spans decades.
Over the years, the school has produced numerous provincial players and South African representativesโour most celebrated being Sulette Damons, who represented the SA National Team and captained her country on multiple occasions. Today, Union continues to develop elite-level talent. In the past few seasons alone, a record number of Union players have represented Eastern Province across age groups, while the First Team Girls ranked amongst the top small-school hockey programs in South Africa and produced one of the most dominant Inter-Schools performances in our history, including the famous 7โ0 victory in 2025.
While high performance remains a core objective, participation for all is central to our philosophy. Every learner, regardless of age or skill level, is encouraged to train, develop and take the field. Growth, enjoyment and development are valued just as highly as results.
The opening of the Union Astroturf on 15 October 2011 was a monumental moment in the schoolโs sporting history. In October 2023, the turf was fully resurfacedโrenewing our commitment to providing world-class facilities to our learners and the wider community.
We are deeply grateful to our parents, Old Unionites, sponsors and supporters who continue to assist our vision for the sport. With strong coaching, player development from U/7 to First Team, and the continued growth of our programme, the future of Union Hockey remains exciting, competitive and filled with opportunity.
