The club runs five men's teams, with the first XI playing (as of the 2021/22 season) in the Men's England Hockey League Premier Division, and five women's teams, with the first XI playing (as of the 2021/22 season) in the Women's England Hockey League Division One North.[2][3][4]

Coaches

As of 2021, the club is coached by Gareth Weaver-Tyler and Claire Dobison-Lee.[5] Durham graduate and Scottish international Jamie Cachia was previously part of the coaching staff.[6]

Gavin Featherstone, a Durham alumnus and former England international who had coached the United States at the 1984 Olympics and South Africa at the 1996 Olympics, led the Durham coaching team from 2003.[7] His period in charge saw an improvement in club fortunes, with the men participating in the National Hockey League for the first time.[7] He eventually joined Cornell University in 2012.[8]
