Hockey was established as a Football Foundation Sports code in 2009 due to the tremendous success of the football program and a growing demand for a bigger variety of sports codes.
Upon visiting Grootbos, former German Bundesliga player, Delf Ness (Der Club an der Alster, Hamburg) was inspired to launch the Alster Grootbos Hockey Project, bringing the sport to Gansbaai for the first time.
The hockey programme has since 2009 expanded to Stanford and Hermanus and presently sees a mix of genders and all three races creating increased integration within the program.
At the Gansbaai Spaces for Sport field, our local community hockey group currently teaches hockey to fourdifferent age groups (age 1-6, age 7-10, age 11-15,16+),
We are proud to announce that we have players making regional and national teams.
In 2014 the hockey program was expanded to three Hermanus communities where we have mixed girls and boys teams. three girls- and one boys’ team : Mount Pleasant, Zwehile, Hawston areas.
In Stanford the hockey program is coached at two schools: Okkie Smuts and Die Bron.
As of 2018, we also started a cooperation with the South African Hockey Association and the Western Province Hockey Union. That led to regular visits of coaches, support with equipment and first players taking part in training camps and games for regional teams.
A team in Hamburg, Germany, continuously supports the project by- steering the volunteer selection
