Junior FC commemorates the centenary of its field hockey section, founded by Maurici Serrahima in the gardens of his estate in Sarrià. To mark the date, the Copa del Rey and Copa de la Reina are being held at its headquarters in Sant Cugat del Vallès, a milestone that brings together players and fans around the history of the club.
The technical evolution of a precision sport 🏑
Field hockey has evolved from being played on clay courts to state-of-the-art synthetic surfaces, which demand millimeter-perfect ball control and constant changes of pace. At Junior FC, video analysis technology and GPS tracking systems are integrated into training to optimize players' tactical and physical performance, without resorting to grand displays or magic formulas.
A hundred years and they still haven't invented a stick that doesn't get stuck 😅
After a century of history, field hockey remains that sport where you spend more time adjusting your mouthguard than celebrating a goal. The best thing about the Copas in Sant Cugat is that if you miss a penalty, you can blame the turf, the stick, or Serrahima's genetic heritage. No one will argue with you.
