Hokkie Astro

Hokkie Astro exists because Soweto's hockey community wanted a dedicated surface and the infrastructure to support serious play. Hockey in the township grew from grassroots interest into organised league participation, and having an astroturf facility changed what local athletes could achieve. The club represents how sport becomes embedded in a neighbourhood's identity—it's not just a pitch, but a place where younger players learn the game, women's teams compete at provincial level, and the sport itself takes root in the community. Soweto's hockey presence is shaped by having this kind of dedicated facility available.
