Toro Club Coronel Moldes expands hockey program and plans synthetic pitch

Toro Club Social y Deportivo de Coronel Moldes has expanded its field hockey program to 80 active participants, combining youth development with competitive regional play while planning the installation of a synthetic turf pitch. The club’s multi-tier hockey initiative spans from introductory youth divisions to senior competition within the regional league association.

Fifteen-Year Growth of Regional Hockey in Coronel Moldes

The hockey program at Toro Club has reached a phase of institutional and sporting consolidation after 15 years of development. According to coach Julio Mamondi, the initiative addresses a need for an activity for young girls in the city. The program currently structures its roster across multiple age brackets, including children’s developmental categories, seventh division, sixth division (sub-16), intermediate, and first division. Participants range from young girls in formative training to adult competitors up to 40 years old. Mamondi stated that the core objective unites formative player retention with competitive performance under the official league banner.

Fundraising Campaign for Synthetic Turf Installation

To keep pace with modern sporting standards, the club’s hockey subcommission has launched a community fundraising campaign dedicated to building a synthetic turf pitch. Organizers have established an informational stand at the local fair to engage the community and generate financial support. Mamondi emphasized that modern playing surfaces are essential for maintaining athlete enthusiasm, noting that upgraded infrastructure will drive future growth in both recreational participation and competitive performance.

League Competition and Adoption of ‘Las Toritas’ Identity

The competitive arm of the Coronel Moldes program recently featured a decisive seventh-division classification match against Municipal de Adelia María. During the recent round of fixtures, the club officially adopted the moniker “Las Toritas” to represent all of its competing squads across the association’s divisions. This branding unifies the program’s 40 competitive players and 40 youth participants under a single identity.
