Author: Staff Report

KARACHI: The Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF), with the help of the Pakistan Army, will begin a fitness boot camp for senior players starting from Monday (today), revealed the PHF. The federation and management has analysed the team’s performance and decided to give the players an intense training. “Right now we are entirely focused on the fitness of the senior players, neither do they have the pace or stamina required for modern hockey,” said PHF secretary Shahbaz Senior.

“The camp will last for two weeks and if we don’t get the results we want, the camp will be extended.” He added that the camp for junior players would also begin from July 10 at the National Hockey Stadium in Lahore. “The junior team is scheduled to tour Europe next month and also play the Junior World Cup in India by the end of the year,” said Shahbaz Senior.
