HOCKEY IN SOUTH AFRICA

• The South African Hockey Association (SAHA)
  was established in August 1992 when five major
  hockey bodies formed one non-racial, unified
  body which controls and regulates hockey for
  men and women in South Africa. The unification
  process brought together the South African
  Men's and Women's Hockey Associations, the
  South African Men's and Women's Hockey
  Congresses and the South African Women's
  Hockey Board.
• The SAHA is recognised by the National
  Department of Sport
• Recreation, is a member of the National
  Olympic Committee of
• South Africa (NOCSA), is registered with the
  South African
• Sports Commission, the South African
  Commonwealth Games Association (SACGA), is a full
  member of both the International Hockey
  Federation (FIH) and the African Hockey
  Federation (AHF).
• Members of SAHA's Executive Board serve on
  various FIH, AHF and SACGA committees, ensuring
  representation at the highest possible level.
  Hockey has been played in South Africa for over
  one hundred years and is a thriving sport at
  school, tertiary, club and provincial level. The
  number of hockey players in South Africa is
  estimated at 120 000 with the game being played
  in over 750 schools, 32 tertiary institutions and
  in all nine provinces. Over 20 national
  tournaments take place each year ranging from
  youth hockey to masters and veterans.
