About SCHC

SCHC are back for a third successive EHL Women’s competition and looking to breakthrough into the final for the first time since the competition was introduced.

In terms of star talent, they have lots. Yibbi Jansen was 2024’s icon, winning the FIH Player of the Year following her gold medal winning performances in Paris while Xan de Waard was also up on the shortlist for that nomination. Renee van Laarhoven, Lisa Post and Pien Dicke also formed vital elements of their Olympic success.

Junior World Cup winners Trijntje Beljaars and Mette Winter are now being assimilated into the senior Dutch setup via the Pro League.

Last year, they took bronze in the EHL with wins over Gantoise and Junior FC but a FINAL4 defeat to AH&BC Amsterdam followed a 2023 exit at the hands of HC ’s-Hertogenbosch in the FINAL8 a year earlier.

They have previously been queens of Europe, winning the fore-runner to this event – the EuroHockey Club Champions Cup in 2015. The links between this generation and that one, though, are now limited to Femke Richardson who – as an 18-year-old – was part of the SCHC squad that year.

Ginella Zerbo was also part of that side but while she played with the club’s indoor side in the winter, she moved back to Pinoké for the outdoor competition. Dutch legend Laurien Leurink made a similar such move at the end of last season.

On the flip side, there are significant additions this season with Olympic gold medalist Marleen Jochems (Hurley), Jip Dicke (HDM) and Belgian international Elodie Picard (Antwerp) joining the Bilthoven outfit.

It will be their second European campaign of the season after their young stars travelled to Šiauliai in Lithuania for the EuroHockey Indoor Club Cup where they ended in silver medal position.

Maud van den Heuvel put in a star performance for that side with Anna de Geus a calm presence in the side.

They sit in second place in the Hoofdklasse following a recent draw with Den Bosch.
