PRE-SEASON 2026: NORTH BRISTOL
As we prepare for the upcoming campaign, the club is currently undergoing a transition in our coaching personnel. Far from just a routine warmup, this year’s pre-season represents a unique, fresh start for the entire North Bristol Blackhawks family. It offers the perfect opportunity for our incoming coaching talent and both new and returning players to connect, build chemistry, and establish a shared vision for the season ahead.
In light of our coaching personnel changes, we are moving away from traditional, high-pressure singular trials this year. Instead, we are introducing a comprehensive four-week pre-season programme. We believe a single session doesn’t give players a fair chance to showcase their true potential, nor does it let you experience who we are. This four-week window creates a relaxed, supportive environment that allows players to truly get a feel for the club, get to know the new coaches, and see if the Blackhawks are the right fit for them.
