Coaching.

At Wapping Hockey Club we invest significantly to ensure we have the right coaches for each of our teams, whether that’s to climb back into the National Hockey League or encourage brand new players at our Back 2 Hockey sessions. This includes having dedicated coaches for every single league team at the club.

Our Vice Chair of Performance is responsible for building on the previous year’s successes and developing our coaching team.

Head coach

We’re delighted to announce the return of Warren D’Souza as Men’s 1st XI Player-Coach for the 2026/27 season.

Warren brings a wealth of experience as both a player and coach. During a playing career spanning more than 20 years, he won four Premier League titles and competed in the Euro Hockey League on multiple occasions. He also has extensive coaching experience, including a previous spell in charge of Wapping’s Men’s 1st XI in the National League.

Having also served as Wapping’s Vice Chair of Performance for the past two seasons, Warren knows the club well and is excited to lead the team into the new campaign.

Speaking about his return, Warren said:

“Wapping is a great club with a huge membership and facilities that are second to none. The club’s ambition is to be playing at a higher level, and I’m looking forward to helping achieve that as best I can.”

Welcome back, Warren!
