10631. For the love of hockey
- The sport that brought Olympic success to Kerala has not received the recognition it deserves. As a result, many players, especially women, have left hockey.
- Now, the World Masters Games (WMG) for athletes aged above 30 has given many players a chance to dust up their skills and represent India in the global arena. A women’s hockey team from India having seven players from Kerala and eight from Tamil Nadu is preparing for the 10th WMG that would be held in Kansai, Japan.
- The team members have to pay `1.6 lakh to `1.9 lakh to the Kerala Masters Games Association to attend the WMG in Japan. The amount excludes food, accommodation and other miscellaneous expenses which would cost 3 lakh.
- The WMG hopefuls have approached many authorities and sponsors to meet their expenses, but nothing positive has happened so far. Lack of quality training facilities too is hindering the skill development of the players.
- Besides workouts, a proteinrich diet is necessary to stay fit. This means more expenses. India has not acknowledged the multi-sport event yet, thereby leaving the athletes with no choice but to bear the expenses themselves.
