India was just off being the age of three at this time and her brother in the early part of being five. They both learnt fast and were thriving to outshine others thier age. Shortly after her brother had taken up inline hockey, in the Launceston Inline Hockey Club their local rink was sadly burnt down after closing its doors in late 2005. Aidan played for only five years before it closed and India only playing few games in late 2005 had barely grown to love the sport. Their father Alan had always had a passion for roller sports being a former roller hockey player from his youth had also taken up inline hockey before he encoraged the two as children. India Atkins grew up in St Leonards for the majority of her life with her mother and broher and her step father Leigh Williams
