About Us

In an era where technology and virtual games on mobile screens often take precedence over physical activity, the Indian Soft Hockey Federation of India (ASHFI) is dedicated to sparking a new sports revolution. Our mission is to move beyond the digital world and restore the true strength of the body and mind through Soft Hockey—a game born in India. We promote a safe, thrilling, and non-injury sport that is accessible to all age groups, focusing on core values like speed, endurance, coordination, teamwork, and discipline.

Founded in 2018 in Jaipur, Rajasthan, by Ramesh Singh, Soft Hockey has rapidly evolved into one of the world's fastest-growing games. From its humble beginnings, the sport has expanded to 34 states across India and is now played in approximately 18 countries globally. Under the leadership of National President Dr. Ashutosh Pant and Chairman Sandeep Singh Chauhan, the federation is affiliated with the International Soft Hockey Federation and the Asian Soft Hockey Federation. Today, Soft Hockey is played in thousands of schools and universities, with major events like the Indian Soft Hockey League showcasing talent on the national stage.
