We are here to ignite passion about hockey amongst children. The academy aims to create world-class standards in every department of the game as well as with issues associated with the game. Being the first to focus on youth development in a structured manner, the academy is unique in every sense, especially as the program is designed for children from the age of 8 years and above to start playing the game.
The academy comes with the commitment of coaches from an extensive pool of former International and national hockey players ensuring very high standards of quality and training. The program is geared towards holistic development for children playing hockey. The academy is well networked with sporting bodies to bring out the best opportunities for the children.
