Spencer Lynx

SPENCER LYNX brings together state school children across South London through the sport we love: hockey. Our name reflects one of our key aims, that of forging community 'links'.

Inclusivity is at the heart of everything we do. By addressing barriers to participation, we provide opportunities for under-served, inner-city children to be physically active, to develop through sport, and to fulfil their potential. And by bringing together families, we make our community all the stronger and more understanding.

OPPORTUNITY: Our free weekly programme provides children with the opportunity to develop their athletic skill and teamwork abilities without the barrier of cost. Additionally, it promotes physical fitness and a sense of community, fostering lifelong friendships and healthy habits from an early age.

COMMUNITY: By bringing together families from different areas of our community we provide a space for them to connect, promoting a sense of belonging and community spirit. We also offer accessible opportunities for personal growth, skills development, and healthy recreation, enhancing the overall well-being of the community.

INCLUSIVITY: We go the extra mile to make families from all backgrounds feel welcome, respected and that they belong at Spencer Lynx. "When everyone is included, everyone wins." (Jesse Jackson).

"I think Spencer Lynx can certainly be recognised as being proactive by laying the important foundations for inclusion in hockey, as well as racial and social diversity ... for that, you can all be incredibly proud of what Spencer Lynx stands for." A Spencer Lynx parent 2021.
