India Women’s Hockey Goalkeepers Wrap 11-Day Specialist Camp in Bengaluru

Overview

• The 11-day program at the SAI centre in Bengaluru ended on May 2 under Northern Irish coach David Williamson with chief coach Sjoerd Marijne supervising.
• Senior custodians Savita, Bichu Devi Kharibam, Bansari Solanki and Madhuri Kindo trained in concentrated sessions that recreated match pressure.
• Drills targeted clean basics, faster decisions, tighter defensive shape, set pieces and penalty-corner saves, with extra work on fitness and clear calls from the back.
• Savita said the camp helped polish skills and mindset, and she mentored younger keepers with small adjustments drawn from her experience.
• Backed by Anandana, the Coca‑Cola India Foundation, the camp was designed to lift match readiness for the coming international window, where penalty corners often swing results.
