Stick out at indoor hockey league

Young players can go as far as playing for South Africa if they are good enough.

PRO Series Indoor Hockey is one of the fastest growing school level hockey events in the country and is fully recognised by the South African Hockey Association (SAHA).

Locally, a league will be held at Port Shepstone High, and will be played on August 14, 21, 28 and September 4.

Cost to enter the league is R450, which includes a PSI branded playing vest, as well as registration with SAHA.

After the completion of the league, teams – boys and girls – in age groups U13, U14, U16 and U18 will be chosen to represent the South Coast Marlins franchise at the national tournament in Cape Town in December.

So, there’s a lot to play for.

Nationals will see more than 200 teams take part, including teams from the rest of South Africa, as well as from Namibia, Zimbabwe and even Germany.

At this tournament, South African indoor hockey teams will be selected and players can earn their national colours.

Dale Esselaar, a teacher at Creston College, is the franchise owner of South Coast Marlins PSI.

There’s still time to enter a team. For more information, contact Dale at 083 2506805.
