Placed among one of the growing sports in Sri Lanka, Hockey and Netball is carving its niche in Sri Lankan sports arena. Sri Lanka national hockey was placed at rank 4th in South Asia and ranked 40 in world ranking in 1970s but thereafter failed to meet the world expectation, since 2015 the national team have grown and have gradually climbed the leader board. We currently have two outdoor Astro turf venues and also have multiple grass turf to give the touring team a different kind of experience.

Talking of Netball, Sri Lanka has a pretty sturdy stand being 18th in world rankings, and reigning Asia Champions since 2018. With a number of various netball facilities around Sri Lanka, in indoor courts, and outdoor grass and astro turfs, Netball also has rising stand facilities wise.

Given the most year round beautiful tropical weather, both sports can easily be played round the year, round the country.

With Tripavi planning your Hockey and Netball tour to Sri Lanka we walk that extra mile to ensure you get club, school or international venues and you get the best service at that. We will also ensure you get ultimate opposition teams from around Sri Lanka for you to battle at on tour. You are at full advantage, since we handle accommodation, experiences and cross section of culture that your team will be eager to see in a tropical island. We make sure you get the best here.
