Current Role

Club Director, AFHC

About Bhupinder

Bhupinder Oberoi leads the coaching and player development side of AFHC, drawing on more than 14 years in the game as a player, coach, and mentor. After a decade of competitive club field hockey in the Fraser Valley, Bhupinder moved into coaching and has since built the club's practice standards from the ground up: structured skill blocks, small-sided game work, and a progression that carries a first-time player through to competitive play. That coaching philosophy puts the whole athlete first, balancing technical detail with confidence, decision-making, and enjoyment of the sport. Bhupinder holds a degree in Kinesiology and is the director families hear from most during Summer Camp season.
