Beginner Hockey Training for Kids in Navi Mumbai
We teach children the love of the game through fun, structured play. Join our weekend foundation sessions held at a safe, indoor turf in Belapur.
Our youngest players learning the fundamentals of stick work. This cone drill is designed to improve their hand-eye coordination and ability to control the ball while moving.
Meet Devansh, one of our four-year-old players. We start by teaching the correct way to hold a hockey stick and the basics of shooting, building confidence from the very first session.
Learning the basics of ball control is the first step. Our toddlers practice dribbling and stick work using cone drills at our Decathlon Belapur indoor facility.
Repetition is key to mastering ball control. Our young players practice left-right dribbling drills in a line to build muscle memory and confidence with the hockey stick.
Introducing the reverse hit to our toddler group. We break down complex skills into simple, manageable steps to ensure our youngest players can learn advanced techniques.
We focus on proper technique for powerful and accurate shots. This video shows a young player practicing his stepping and shooting form during an indoor session.

About Beginner Hockey for Kids (Ages 4-12)
We start with non-contact basics in a fully netted, safe indoor turf at Decathlon Belapur to help kids build confidence before they ever step onto a competitive field. It is not just about holding the stick; we use agility ladders and fun cone drills to get their motor skills and reflexes right from age four, making sure they enjoy the process as much as they learn the sport.
Why start hockey early?
Hockey is a full-body sport that builds coordination, endurance, and discipline. At Hockey Navi Mumbai, we don't just teach kids how to hit a ball. We focus on the 'why' and 'how' of movement. Whether it is learning how to hold a stick properly or mastering a sweep slap shot, we break every technique down into simple, manageable steps that a four-year-old can replicate.
What to expect at our sessions
We run the Weekend Foundation Program (ages 4-12) with a focus on safety and engagement.
- Environment: Our primary training happens at Decathlon Belapur, which is an enclosed, safe turf. This removes the stress of traffic or open-ground hazards, letting kids focus entirely on their drills.
- Skill Progression: We start with motor skills like agility and balance, then move to basic hockey elements: grip, push passing, ball control, and dribbling.
- Coaching Approach: I am on the turf with the kids. You will hear me shouting instructions because I believe in fixing technique in real-time. If a child is not marking correctly or holding the stick wrong, we address it immediately so they don't develop bad habits.
Is this for your child?
We welcome absolute beginners. You do not need any prior experience. We provide sticks for initial trials, so you don't need to rush into buying equipment before your child even knows if they love the sport. Our goal is to make hockey a fun part of their weekend routine, not just another chore.
Schedule
Our batches are scheduled for weekends (Saturday and Sunday, 3 PM – 5 PM) to fit into school schedules without clashing with the busy weekday grind.
