Our purpose is to support, oversee and guide the development of hockey, in all FIH formats in our province. We are responsible for the administration, development, and co-ordination of all activities linked to the game within our province.

Playing or officiating hockey, there are many opportunities and pathways to follow. We have 4 year olds running around small hockey fields, while on the other extreme we have grandparents on the hockey field on a weekend. Players and officials have opportunities to participate at the local level, typically via our women’s and men’s club league structures, while we provide pathways to participate in national tournaments and international competitions. There is almost always Southern Gauteng players in our national hockey teams and we regularly see international match officials that have developed their capabilities thanks to our club league structures.

Southern Gauteng comprises 3 Gauteng districts including City of Johannesburg, Sedibeng District municipality and West Rand District municipality. Membership of Southern Gauteng Hockey includes members (typically hockey clubs) and also affiliate members. We even have honorary life members nominated in appreciation of service to hockey in any region within Southern Gauteng.

Hockey in our province is for everyone, from all backgrounds.
