The Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) has taken a significant step towards enhancing its grassroots development efforts by launching the National Under-15 Hockey Registration Portal. This initiative, designed to identify and nurture young hockey talent, is part of PHF's broader strategic plan.
Through this portal, aspiring young players aged 13 to 16 can register their details and showcase their skills. The registration process is straightforward and aims to provide a platform for these budding talents to be discovered by coaches and selectors at various levels.
Speaking about the launch, PHF President Muhammad Ali Khan stated, 'We are committed to building a strong foundation of hockey in Pakistan through our grassroots programs. This portal will help us reach out to more young players and ensure they have access to quality training and development opportunities.'
The registration process is open to all aspiring young players across the country. PHF encourages parents and guardians to register their children, as early identification can significantly impact a player's future in the sport.
According to PHF officials, the portal will be operational for a period of six months, during which time they hope to gather a substantial number of registrations. The data collected will be used to assess the current state of hockey talent across different regions and to develop targeted training programs.
The launch of this registration portal is seen as a positive step towards increasing participation in the sport among young people. PHF hopes that by identifying more players, they can contribute to the growth and success of Pakistan's national teams in future competitions.
In addition to the registration process, PHF plans to organize various training camps and workshops for registered players. These events will provide valuable opportunities for young talent to improve their skills under professional guidance.
