About this collection
You do not need to be a pro to start here, but you do need to be ready to put in the work. Whether you are a sub-junior picking up a stick for the first time or a senior athlete prepping for national trials, our training covers everything from yoga for core strength to high-intensity game simulations on FIH-standard turf. We focus on building the right mindset alongside technical skills.
Building Champions
We treat every player as part of a family. Our training isn't about fancy drills that look good on camera; it is about building the toughness required to compete in the national circuit. We balance our time between modern AstroTurf at venues like the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium and traditional grounds to ensure our players can perform in any match condition.
The Training Approach
Success on the field is a result of preparation off the field. Our sessions are designed to be comprehensive:
- Technical Skills: We focus on ball control, drag flicks, and 3D skills through repetitive, high-intensity drills.
- Fitness and Recovery: Hockey is physically demanding. We integrate specific days for sprint mechanics and endurance, followed by yoga sessions to improve flexibility and prevent injuries.
- Gameplay: We regularly organize internal scrimmages and exhibition matches against local clubs. This gives our juniors and seniors the exposure they need to handle pressure during official league games.
Competitive Pathways
We are actively involved in the national ecosystem. Our teams frequently participate in the Hockey India Nationals and the Khelo India Women's Hockey League. If you have the hunger to represent your team at the highest levels, we provide the pathway through formal trials. We look for players who show up, listen, and push themselves beyond their comfort zones. Whether you are aiming for the U-16 leagues or senior-level competition, you will find the support and structure here to reach those goals.
Salute Hockey Academy
I started this academy because I believe hockey is more than just a game, it is a community. We are not just about drills, we are about building the mindset to win on and off the field. If you are hungry to learn and ready to sweat, we have a spot for you.
