Hockey India Appoints Tim White as Junior Women’s Coach

New Delhi, Apr 10 (BNP): Hockey India has appointed experienced Australian coach Tim White as the new head coach of the Indian junior women’s hockey team, replacing Tushar Khandekar, who had been with the squad since 2023.

The federation announced the change on Friday but did not provide details regarding the reason for the transition or the duration of White’s contract.

Tim White brings international coaching experience to the role and was recently associated with the Hockey India League, where he served as head coach of the Accord Tamil Nadu Dragons. His appointment is expected to strengthen the team’s preparation and development at the junior level.

Khandekar’s tenure with the side saw steady involvement in building the squad, but the federation has now opted for a change in leadership as part of its ongoing restructuring and performance strategy.

The move reflects Hockey India’s continued focus on bringing global coaching expertise into its system to enhance the performance of India’s junior women’s hockey programme.
