Club hockey in India is almost dead, because of funding constraints and due to lack of infrastructure. Most of the state hockey associations today exist in namesake only.

Hockey is surviving in India only because of State Government run sports hostels in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Orissa, Punjab, Bihar and Kerala, as well as Army run sports units like Madras Engineering Group (MEG) and Army Service Corps (ASC) in Bangalore.

Most of the schools in India do not have hockey trainers/coaches, and naturally they do not encourage hockey. The fault, as well as the solution, llies with the current and
retired hockey players. They should offer their services to help encourage hockey in schools. It is never too late to act.

Let all the retired hockey players who have played at various levels go to schools in different parts of India, and start training boys and girls who are below 7 years of age. You will soon see lots of children taking up hockey, and eventually you will build a talent base for the future and Indian hockey will prosper.

I make a sincere appeal to all hockey lovers and current and retired players - let's not bother about who should coach the Indian senior men's or women's teams. Instead, let us all do something at the grassroots level. Take up one or two schools in your respective towns/villages/cities and work in real earnest for the revival of Indian hockey.

As a matter of fact, I quit my bank job after 9 years of service. I have worked with school children since then.

Jai Hind

I am an obsessed hockey player/hockey lover. We have a hockey team at IIT Guwahati, but we don't play any tournaments here, just a few friendly matches.

Please tell me where are inter-university tournaments are played in India, and during which time of the year, and how IIT Guwahati can participate. Also please tell me more about any Junior National Hockey League in India. Thank you!

I am President of the District Hockey Association, Betul (MP) for the last 3 years. We are organising an all-India Hockey Tournament in the memory of the late Shri S. S. Tomar. This is the 3rd year of the tournament, and is being held from 31st January to 8th February. First prize in this tournament is Rs. 51,000/-.

Betul is a very small tribal disrict, and organising this tournament cost us around Rs. 7 - 7.5 lakhs. For your information, the Honourable Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Shri Shivraj Singhji, has announced an Astro-Turf field for Betul, for which land has already been alloted and funds sanctioned. We are hopeful that work on the astro-turf field will start very soon.

We would like to work for the betterment and uplift of Indian Hockey. With best wishes.

My name is Jaap Suyk, and I am from Netherlands. I have been associated with hockey for the past 34 years (player, trainer and referee). I am presently based in Malaysia for the past 1 year.

Through news and interviews on my website HockeyAsia.com, I aim to communicate with hockey lovers in Asia. My wish and desire is to start hockey courses for school teachers and hockey trainers, possibly a Hockey Academy in Chennai, and support to Indian hockey as much as possible.

Anyone with suggestions and ideas please contact me. Success is best achieved if we work together with best intentions.

Thanks, Jaap Suyk

Hockey needs to change its format to be interesting and popular to the general public. Think where cricket would have been, had it not experimented with multiple formats - from 5 day test matches to One-Day Internationals (50-50) to Twenty20.

While cricket's problem was a long duration of 5 days, hockey's problem is a relatively short timing of its matches (only 70 minutes) and also low scoring games. What if we make hockey into a 3-hour match (with intervals), and have a minimum number (say 10) of long corners, penalty corners and penalty shootouts per match?

Please publish an article written by Dr. Deepak Sheth 'Thank you, Coach Brasa' on your website. Dr Deepak Sheth is a Uro-Surgeon settled in Upland, California, United States. His father, Dr. Vasant Sheth, was a renowned teacher of Surgery in K.E.M. Hospital in Mumbai.

From USA, Deepak has been helping Indian hockey players & coaches alike from the grassroots to the elite level with state of the art information and material about coaching, tactics, strategies, latest FIH rules, diet, video analysis techniques, artificial turf, age verification, etc. He is a mentor and a source of inspiration for several Indian hockey revivalists like myself.

Both of us have a feeling that Jose Brasa, the current Indian men's team coach has turned the national team around and has been doing things no coach has earlier done. Having said that, it would be unrealistic to expect a podium finish in this World Cup itself. According to most knowledgeable hockey experts, the best we can expect in the forthcoming World Cup would be an elevation of our ranking from the twelfth to a higher position.

However, we anticipate that even this outcome is likely to be projected as a failure on part of the coach Brasa by mischief mongers who abound and flourish within our hockey establishment, and who would only be too pleased to see him leave, a la Ric Charlesworth.

We hockey lovers without vested interests, are determined to forestall such a move. We appeal to you to help us in our cause by publishing Dr Sheth's article, for we cannot afford to lose a coach like Jose Brasa. Thank you.

Our federation has not done a good job in team selection. There is little hope of a finish on the podium for India. Success won't happen overnight. I have been watching Indian hockey since 1996.

I believe there are at least half a dozen teams who are capable of winning the World Cup. Prabhjyot, Deepak Thakur, Arjun, Tushar, Shivender are some of our stars. I want to see India beat Pakistan like the 7-4 victory in the 2003 Champions Trophy. Good luck to the Indian team. Jai Hind.

My children are in love with the sport, and I would like to nurture their skill with some professional coaching. Appreciate if someone can respond with details.

Indian hockey needs a revival right from the grassroots level. We need to adopt modern standards like scientific coaching, dietary knowledge, physical training, psychological inputs, modern tactics, etc.

With vision/planning/execution, and a clear goal, we will achieve our target. God Bless Indian Hockey.

Analysis on 5 different angles of the World Cup is superb. India should focus on junior coaching.

India conceded 6 goals from the pass centered in the middle. Goalkeeper did not kick the ball properly as he was in dual mind of not conceding a Penalty Corner by raising the ball. As a result, the ball went to another waiting attacker, who slammed the ball in the goal.

Man-to-man marking was just not there. Every opponent could score at will, by sending the pass to the left pole from the 25-yard line, where a waiting unmarked opponent would tap the ball into the goal. India conceded 5 goals in this way.

India conceded most Penalty Corner goals too (10). Ultimately, matches are won by scoring goals. However, Prabhjyot Singh and Deepak Thakur failed to penetrate the defence of rivals.

Your argument against City-based Clubs as a way to revive interest in hockey is unconvincing (http://www.bharatiyahockey.org/2010/mar2010.html#ClubCityCountry).

First, the format of hockey doesn't need to be changed to fit into a television schedule, so the golf analogy (cheerleaders on the golf course) doesn't wash.

Secondly, the English Premier League (among others, of course!) is a City Club league, with a mix of local and foreign players, is temporary, and doesn't contribute to a national team. Owners of the clubs are not sportsmen and often not even English. But it's a huge money-maker, provides great television, makes stars and is globally followed. Thousands of boys across the globe wear their Ronaldo or Rooney T-shirts when playing football in the streets.

IPL reduced cricket to 20/20, but that was all, and done of course so it could be packaged, sponsored, presented and followed in the modern world.

Wouldn't a City Club hockey league, played in different cities, properly sponsored, with players and coaches paid well, put Indian hockey back on the map? There's no reason why such a league could not co-exist with a World Series or at least a greater effort to build national teams. The awareness and enthusiasm for hockey would translate to support for a national team of course - look what happened to the India 20/20 team!

However, I was interested to read of the 11-camera television coverage, sponsorship arrangements, etc., of the Hero Honda World Cup. And of Holland's 400 artificial turf fields to India's less than 50.

It seems to me a revival of Indian hockey has to be grassroots, and supported by local schools (at all levels) because of the need for field maintenance. But this doesn't mean hockey has to remain "purist." The intervention of (the despised) businessmen might provide the financial backing for such a revival, assuming it helps hockey to get off the charity line. So still thinking about all this...

I am an ardent hockey fan. I am also a trainee and nephew of well known hockey coach, A. Claudius of Coimbatore district, who passed away recently on 2nd June, 2010.

Mr. Claudius was nicknamed "Father of Coimbatore Hockey". In 1965, he was coached at National Institute of Sports, Patiala, by the all time great wizard of Indian hockey, Major Dhyan Chand in 1965. He was instrumental in producing many stalwarts in Coimbatore hockey. One Mr. Shanmugham, the present director of AIKI Logistics was nicknamed then as "Prithipal Singh of the South".

Kindly publish the news about Mr. Claudius's demise in your website. Please refer the article in the Sports section of The Hindu dated 3rd June, 2010, Tamil Nadu Edition, captioned "Father of Coimbatore Hockey is no more". Long Live Hockey.

I started initially as a crazy fan of cricket. It was during the 2000 Sydney Olympics that I became curious about hockey. Now for me, cricket and hockey are like two brothers, and both of them need to grow simultaneously for the welfare of Indian sports.

After India's magical victory in the 2003 Kuala Lumpur Asia Cup, I started searching about the past of Indian hockey on internet. It was unbelievable to even think that any team can win six Olympic gold medals on the trot, like India did from 1928-1956. In those days, the Olympic gold medal meant the world championship, since there was no separate World Cup.

India's performance should be world class in world level tournaments. However, India has not reached the World Cup Hockey semi-finals since 1975. And India did not qualify for the 2008 Beijing Olympics hockey, which many sports fans considered as the doomsday of Indian hockey. We have performed well only at the Asiad, Asia Cup and Azlan Shah Cup level.

In contrast, India won the Cricket World Cup in 1983, were in the final in 2003, and in the semi-finals in 1987 and 1996. More recently, India won the T20 World Cup in 2007.

I pray for Indian hockey and hope that India not only performs well in the upcoming Commonwealth Games and Asian Games, but also in world level tournaments like the Olympics, World Cup and Champions Trophy.

We all should support Indian hockey in a big way by trying to improve school level and sub-junior level hockey, i.e., grassroots hockey.

Let's weed out self-centred and money mongering officials, provide publicity to the game, especially in rural areas, and encourage entrepreneurs to venture into the game.

Corporate houses like Tatas, Birlas, Mahindras, etc. need to be involved to market the sport of hockey in a huge way.
