This year, our underwater hockey championship is proud to introduce two exciting competition formats: Mixed and Female. Aiming to foster diversity and inclusion in this vibrant sport, we want to ensure that all athletes, regardless of gender, have the opportunity to compete, learn, and enjoy.
Continuing our tradition, we will carry on with our mixed competition, where teams of men and women will compete together in an environment of mutual respect and sportsmanship. This format promotes equality and teamwork, showcasing the talent and skill of all players in the water.
In an effort to highlight and support female talent in underwater hockey, we are launching a completely female-only competition for the first time this year. This new focus seeks to offer a space where women can compete at the highest level, thereby promoting greater visibility and opportunities within the sport.
Our female championship will run parallel to the mixed competition, allowing players to choose to participate in both formats if they wish. We are committed to creating an inclusive and supportive environment, where all athletes can shine.
Why a Female-Only Championship? We strongly believe in the power of sport to drive change and equality. By offering a dedicated competition for women, we hope to inspire more players to join underwater hockey, fostering a spirit of community and empowerment. This approach not only celebrates the skills and achievements of women in sport but also sets an important precedent for the future of underwater hockey.
Open Invitation to All Athletes Whether you are a seasoned veteran of the sport or a new enthusiast, we invite you to join us in this exciting championship. Whether you prefer the dynamics of mixed play or wish to dive into the intensity of the female-only competition, there is a place for you in our event. Come and be part of the history of underwater hockey in 2024!
