About Hockey Coaching for All Ages
What We're About
We're Hockey Navi Mumbai, a bunch of hockey lovers who treat the team like family. We play, hang out, push each other, and keep things real. On the turf, though, it’s pure energy - expect loud instructions, some tough love, and a bit of mazaa (fun) mixed in. Sab log milke khelte hain (everyone plays together), from tiny tots to adults.
Who Can Join
- Beginner hockey training for kids: For ages 4-12, we make hockey simple and fun. Boys and girls both get a shot to start strong.
- Juniors and Girls Hockey Coaching Navi Mumbai: Older kids and teens move up to more competitive sessions, especially our girls who get their own space to shine.
- Adult hockey sessions: Sundays are for grown-ups who want a good game, whether they’re rusty or still sharp.
How We Coach
I don’t stand on the side just clapping - I’m shouting out, running drills, and fixing mistakes on the spot. Expect phrases like "chal chal chal!" and "kya kar raha hai?" - it’s all about making you better. Sessions mix drills for ball control, hitting, passing, tackling, plus fitness routines and stretching.
A Bit About Me
Coach Deepa Churi here - ex-national player, SAI scholarship holder, juggling a corporate job and hockey. I’m tough, but I want every player to improve, no matter their level.
Where We Play
You’ll spot us at Decathlon Belapur, Kharghar, Sanpada (indoors), and St. Joseph Kalamboli depending on the age group and session. Timing’s mostly weekends, so it fits busy schedules.

My Story
We’re Hockey Navi Mumbai, not just a team but a bunch of people glued together by hockey. Started with a simple idea - let’s make hockey big here. Coach Deepa, ex-national player and our Wonder Woman, juggles her job and us, giving her all. Festivals, tough matches, birthday bumps—sab kuch (everything) we do together. We’re about helping kids, growing together, and making hockey a family thing.
My Work
Hockey coaching for all ages - We train toddlers, sub-juniors, juniors, seniors - boys and girls, anyone keen to play.
Specialized goalkeeper training - Our goalie sessions are hands-on, focusing on sharp reflexes and basics.
Strength & conditioning hockey camps - We run camps to build stamina and fitness, open for all levels.
Team spirit and fun - Practice isn’t just drills. We celebrate wins, birthdays, festivals, and push each other.
Discipline and grassroots hockey coaching - On-field, you’ll hear us shout ‘आगे जाओ!’ (go forward!) and ‘मैं marking करो!’ (do the man-marking!). We’re strict but lively.
Practice grounds across Navi Mumbai - We play at St. Joseph, Sanpada turf, Ghansoli, and Decathlon Belapur. Join us wherever suits you.
