One of our programmes, is the Hockey Dreams Trip. A full-month-internship for coaches who have achieved specific milestones within our Academy. We set up a filled schedule in the Netherlands, and everything they learn they bring back to their community. The result is amazing: we see the quality of trainings and camps increase, and therefore the entire organisation profits of this. Last summer, it was the turn for @lawrencejohan to be invited. He wrote a blog about his experiences, which you can now read through #linkinbio.

BIG thanks to @wingsofsupport, @kamponghockey and @sportwayshockeycamps for making this Dream Trip possible!

These kids had never seen a hockey stick in their life before, when our coaches introduced the sport to them. Coach Martha giving 100% of het energy and the kids had the time of their lives. This took place in Mukambi, a tiny village in the central part of Zambia, which we visited during the African Hockey Experience in 2018 (check out the link in our bio to see the possibilities to join this year’s edition!).

Just before we touched base in 2020, we were pleasantly surprised with a gift from Belgium! Last year (and the year before) at @herakleshockey, they raised an incredible amount of €1000 and collected 120 sticks for us. What a gesture! 🤩 Those were personally transported by the Devillé family the 175 km from Antwerp to Amsterdam 🚙 and we will make sure they travel the 11.000 km to our communities 🚢 Thank you to everyone involved! 👏🏾

2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣0️⃣ times thank you for the great effort by @md1_hockeydhv. Collecting plastic and fundraising for every goal scored: they did it all. At the end of 2019, they wanted to contribute to the dreams of our coaches. “Hockey is such a big part of our lives and personal development!”. Well done girls! 🤩

We want to spread the word to every one of you who has been part of the @scorrdhockey @hockeydreamsfoundation and @gribbidcom campaign this year around the @belfiuseurohockeychampionships in Antwerp. So many people around the world bought our Limited Edition Grips and therefore Hockey Dreams are able to organise 3 hockey camps in 2020 in #Zambia, #Malawi and #Uganda. A 2-day experience where hundreds of young, excited hockey kids are offered an unforgettable time with a lot of hockey, social games with singing and dancing, workshops about life skills, a healthy lunch, a safe environment to develop themselves, a stage to show their talent and of course... a lot of FUN with their dedicated coaches!
We can't thank you enough for making this happen. So the hockey coaches and kids have a message for you. LET'S DO THIS!

What to do if you organise a hockey camp for around 100 kids and you don’t have enough cones? You create them yourselves. 🛢🎨

She did it! 👩🏾‍🎓💥 Our inspiring and ambitious coach @marthackalomo rocked it and received her diploma today. A journey of a lifetime with a little of our support but mainly by her own fighting spirit. Martha, you’re an example to everyone! ♥️

5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ fans on Instagram from all over the world! 📣 We’re super proud of this milestone. Thank you all and keep following us! 💪🏾

It’s #internationalgirlsday 👧🏾🧒🏾👩🏿🧑🏽👩🏾‍🦱And actuall, we believe there shouldn’t be such day. Our hockey girls are just as important as our boys. Altough we have our Girls First programme: simply because they sometimes need some that little extra support to come to the pitch, knowing there will be a lot of other girls to do sports with. And that is reason enough 💪🏾 If you would like to support our programmes, help us out and donate whatever you can miss (link in bio 👈🏾). Thanks a million! 🤟🏾

It’s the week of the referee 📣 So we take this opportunity to show some appreciation to these important people 🤩 Within our programmes, we challenge our coaches to develop their skills as a player, coach and also as a referee. The biggest focus: fair play 🤝♥️ #norefnogame
