The International Hockey Federation (FIH) is pleased to announce the launch of the WorldHockey Youth site: www.worldhockey.org/youth
On this website you will find information on the FIH Youth Panel and on FIH Youth Projects, such as the WorldHockey Youth Challenge, which will be featured soon after the upcoming ÔÇ£Magic TricksÔÇØ weekend of 16 and 17 May 2009.
Beside information about projects, programmes and events there will also be a news section, with updates from youth projects in the FIH member countries. Interactive sections such asÔÇØ Talk to usÔÇØ and ÔÇ£Pen PalsÔÇØ will make the website a meeting point for young hockey developers. The YouTube section will add visual proof of what's going on in the youth hockey world.
A unique point of the website is that it will be run by members of the FIH Youth Panel, all young hockey leaders. It will give all hockey nations, including the developing ones, a platform and the opportunity to be part of the global hockey family. It will also give youth a voice, a message which the FIH has promoted for a long time.
The website can be accessed directly via www.worldhockey.org/youth or by clicking on the WorldHockey Youth banner on www.worldhockey.org.
