Women’s hockey camp ahead of Australia tour to tune tactics

Hockey India is organising a 35-day senior women’s national camp here from Sunday to fine tune the “structure” and “tactics” of its core group ahead of the tour of Australia in May.

The women’s team chief coach Janneke Schopman said the camp, from April 9 to May 13 for 33 probables, followed by the series against Australia should give her a fair idea where the team stands against the top hockey-playing countries.

“After the last camp, in which we were able to establish our baseline for the needed physical output and addressed individual improvements, we’re looking to improve our team structure and tactics,” said Schopman in a Hockey India statement on Saturday.
