The forum saw a healthy exchange of information and opinions between the hosts and the participants.
The AHF Online Indoor Hockey Forum aimed at providing technical expertise and knowledge on various aspects of Coaching, Umpiring, and Event Hosting with respect to organizing Indoor Hockey events. The forum was curated with an aim at initiating discussions among the coaches, umpires & event organizers about Indoor Hockey across the continent. The discussion also touched upon the upcoming trend of Indoor Hockey being picked up worldwide and the basic difference between field hockey & Indoor Hockey events.

If a country has top-notch Coaches, Umpires, and experienced event organizers, then the sport of hockey will grow at a rapid pace. It’s very important for the players to have the best of support and therefore we were delighted to organize a forum discussion to delve into the important aspects of Coaching, Umpiring, and event hosting.”
