In 1928, he was a member of the British Indian field hockey team, which won the gold medal.
Norris later became an international field hockey coach based in London. He coached the Dutch field hockey team from 1954 to 1956, the Italian team in 1960 and the Mexican team before the 1968 Olympics.[1] Norris's son Ron represented India as a light welterweight in the 1952 Helsinki Olympics.
