Why Hockey?
Field hockey is a physically demanding sport that helps young people stay active and fit. It requires players to run, sprint, and change direction quickly, all of which can help improve cardiovascular fitness, coordination, and agility.
Juniors can improve mental focus and concentration. In order to succeed in field hockey, young people must be able to focus and concentrate on the task at hand. This skill can be developed through practice and can translate to other areas of life, such as school and work.
Young people will be able to improve and build teamwork and communication. Players must work together to move the ball down the field and score goals, and they must communicate with each other to coordinate their movements and strategies. These skills are valuable not only in sports, but also in other areas of life such as school and work.
A young person will boost self-esteem and confidence. When young people succeed in field hockey, they are more likely to feel good about themselves and their abilities. This sense of accomplishment and self-worth can carry over into other areas of their lives, boosting their confidence and self-esteem.
Being part of a team can provide a sense of belonging and connection. Being part of a team can give young people a sense of belonging and connection to something larger than themselves. This can help improve their mental wellbeing by providing a supportive community of peers and coaches.

By staying active, improving mental focus and concentration, fostering teamwork and communication, boosting self-esteem and confidence, and providing a sense of belonging and connection, field hockey can be a valuable asset in the personal and professional development of young people.
