St Teresa’s learner is excited about her upcoming overseas hockey match
Dannika Ramroop participated in the Hockey Junction All-Stars Indoor Tournament where her team won gold in the U14 age group.
St Teresa’s School learner Dannika Ramroop is counting down the days until her Amsterdam and Germany hockey tour next year.
Ramroop said she was excited but nervous about her first overseas hockey tournament.
“I am excited to experience the level of hockey in Europe and to visit different countries.”
The 14-year-old added that she had faith in herself and her abilities because she received a lot of medals, trophies and certificates. Her favourite award is the Southern Gauteng gold medal that she won last year at the inter-provincial tournament (IPT).
Ramroop added that she has not looked back since she began playing hockey at the age of five.
“I joined a club in 2014. I realised that I was good at hockey when I received my first U8 player of the season trophy. I currently play all forms of hockey which include indoor and outdoor.”
She explained that the 2022 Pro Series Indoor (PSI) nationals were her first tournament outside of Gauteng which was tough.
Dannika concluded that it takes good time management and support from her school, parents and coaches to be able to juggle her passion and academics.
