One of the most anticipated events hosted by the Trinidad and Tobago Hockey Board (TTHB) is its Easter Youth Hockey Festival, which is a major part of the evaluation process for their Youth Development Program.
The Primary Schools Segment of the tournament, which was again a success attracting approximately 30 schools teams, took place at the National Hockey Centre, Eastern Regional Sports Complex, Tacarigua on Thursday April 7th, 2011. The other segments of the festival were the U13 Mixed segment on April 20th, the U15 Boys and Girls segment on April 21st and the U21 Boys and Girls segment on April 22nd.
The tournament celebrated its 11th year in existence and the participation, expectations and role of the festival has grown considerably, imploring the TTHB to raise the standard of quality delivery to its main stakeholders - the sporting community and the youth of our country. One proud fact of which the 2011 Edition of the festival can boast is that it was run by the National Hockey Youth Committee of which all the officials are between the ages of 12 to 25, with the advisory support of senior officials of the TTHB.
