Welcome to the Hockey Strategist

Welcome to the Hockey Strategist blog

I'm a South African sports enthusiast who is involved in hockey, cricket and rugby at different levels.

Field Hockey in South Africa, while relatively well established, lacks a lot of resources and exposure to take it to the next level and make it genuinely competitive on the international scene. At club level, many of the coaches lack formalised training and you see the same ex players being rotated amongst the clubs.

New coaches wishing to join, don't have resources to exchange ideas and spread the knowledge. For this reason, I've decided to try and create a platform from which South African coaches and administrators can interact with international counterparts, list clubs, coaching opportunities etc and try and take advantage of the power of the internet to build their hockey skills.

We invite comment from coaches around the world on various positions, tactics, teams and tours to try and turn this into a thoroughly interactive site.
