Florence Lathouwers' Gratitude to Dar Hockey Academy

By Ijaz Chaudhry

Lahore-based Dar Hockey Academy, scouting talent from all over the country, is easily the finest hockey nursery of Pakistan today. The academy has made several training tours of hockey powerhouses of Europe: Holland (six times), Belgium (thrice) and Germany (thrice). During these tours, the Dar HA mostly played matches against the teams featuring in the top tier of the national leagues. The experience thus gained went a long way in polishing the talent of the boys. And they have been continuously gaining selection in Pakistan’s national and age group sides.
