Octopush is underwater hockey.

It is a great team game and an excellent way of keeping fit. It is a fun sport that can be enjoyed by men, women and juniors, and anyone who can swim can play. Here at Huddersfield, we provide coaching to player under 18 years.

The object of the game is to score more goals than the opposing team. This is done by pushing a weighted puck along the bottom of the pool, passing to your team mates, avoiding tackles and ultimately pushing the puck into the opponents’ goal. All of this, is of course, done underwater using only a mask, fins and snorkel, with a hand held pusher for moving the puck. For Harry Potter fans - it's a bit like underwater Quidditch!!!!!

There can be 10 players in a team, but only 6 are in the water at any time. The puck is placed in the middle, with both teams starting at each end of the pool. It is a competitive sport, but very enjoyable. Why not give it a go!
