About G.O.A. Reds Field Hockey Club

Founded in 1970, the G.O.A. Reds have been an integral part of the Toronto and GTA field hockey community for over 50 years. As a community club representing the Goan Overseas Association (G.O.A.), we welcome anyone eager to learn and play the sport, with opportunities for those interested in advancing to higher levels of competition. Our training primarily takes place during the indoor season, and we compete in both indoor and outdoor leagues, where we’ve celebrated numerous victories in the ‘A’ and ‘B’ divisions.

The club actively participates in numerous local and out-of-town tournaments, achieving notable success in events such as the Maple Leaf, GoA Gold Cup, New York Big Apple, Trinidad Ventures International Indoor, National Capital Cup in Ottawa, Montreal Cup, JFK International in Washington, Brooklyn All-Stars Indoor in Washington, Pragema Indoor in Prague, and many others.

The mission of the G.O.A. Reds Field Hockey Club is to share our passion for the sport and uphold decades of tradition and excellence with families and youth. We aim to create opportunities that foster athletic development and enhance field hockey skills while providing memorable, life-changing experiences. Our focus is on personal growth and building genuine, lasting friendships among our members.
