Underwater hockey is a fun way to increase your fitness and meet new friends and is appropriate for Intermediate age school children and up. People of all sizes and abilities are able to play - you don't have to be a really good swimmer either!
Our game is played on the bottom of a swimming pool. Players use a mask, snorkel, fins and specially shaped sticks to push a plastic coated lead puck into the opposition goal.
A team has up to 10 players - 6 in the water and the rest on the side of the pool as substitutes.
Tauranga uwh club sends teams to regional and national competitions and several local Secondary schools have teams that compete annually in the NZ Secondary Schools competition.
We play at Baywave every Sunday except for public holidays
Terms 1 & 4 from 5pm - 6pm for Juniors/Novices and Seniors from 5pm -6:45pm.
