Field hockey in Italy

Hockey in Italy – Where Mediterranean, temperament and sports come together. Imagine playing hockey under the Mediterranean sun, discovering a different city every week, and ringing in the evening with an aperitif and delicious pizza or pasta in the evening sun. That’s hockey in Italy – a unique mix of sports, culture and enjoyment as they do in Italy, La Dolce Vita. Whether you are a player, coach or student (or all three): Italy offers you an unforgettable hockey experience that goes beyond the field. For boys and girls!

Hockey with temperament

Are you diving headfirst into Italian life for your academic hockey adventure?

Top level and accessible

In recent decades, Italy has developed strongly as a hockey country, both nationally and internationally. For example, the national teams participated in European Championships and various clubs such as Butterfly and Tevere (Rome) competed at European level in the European Cup. But even at a lower level, hockey is spirited, intensive and accessible. Plenty of opportunities to further develop yourself as a hockey player. In fact, international players are highly valued there and bring knowledge and skills to complement the Italian players. Whether you are just coming from the youth or as an experienced player or coach: in Italy you get opportunities to grow, learn and make an impact.

Live the Italian lifestyle

Italians play hockey with temperament, just as they talk with their hands and live. The game is fast, powerful and intense – the atmosphere within clubs is warm and familiar. The hockey community in Italy is small, everyone knows each other at the club and outside. Expect intensive training where everyone always gives 100%, but also a culture in which you are immediately accepted, belong and enjoy the Italian lifestyle together. Immerse yourself in the Mediterranean culture and not only become a better hockey player but above all a richer person.
