Welcome to Andes Hockey
Join us at The Andes Hockey Project where we develop talent, build a strong community, and inspire resilience through the sport we love
The Andes Hocky Project is an international initiative dedicated to supporting the development of aspiring field hockey players from under-privileged backgrounds by providing mentorship, training and access to equipment across the Andean region.
Providing access to field hockey equipment will remove one of the main barriers to participation faced by underprivileged players. Access to proper sticks, protective gear, and balls will:
- Increase participation by making the sport more accessible to players who would otherwise be excluded
- Enhance player safety through appropriate protective gear
- Improve player's skill developement
- Build community pride by giving clubs the means to organise regular training sessions
We believe that providing access to field hockey equipment will remove one of the main barriers to participation faced by underprivileged players and under-resourced clubs.

Understaning the challenges shaping field hockey in the Andean region
Statistics
Around 1 in 4 South American field hockey players feel under-resourced
The Cost of Playing
Did you know that buying all the essential hockey gear can cost well over £100, even before club fees?
Our goal
By 2028, we aim to give over 300 field hockey players and clubs in South America access to the equipment and resources they need to thrive
Give Gear a Second Life
A small act of giving can put the right equipment into the hands of a player who needs it.
