This program is designed to expose individuals interested in playing field hockey by emphasizing fun physical activity! Young athletes will learn the fundamentals of the game while fostering a love for the sport in a fun and supportive environment.
Grades K-5
The program focuses on developing a strong core skill set with an emphasis on repetition and getting quality touches on the ball each session. Training for students includes individual skill work as well as an introduction to basic tactical knowledge of the game such as: footwork, body position, passing/receiving, individual defense, elimination skills, shooting and more.
How do I know if my K-5 grade child is Beginner or Intermediate? If your child participated in the Beginner/Intro to Field Hockey Session we held last year, they should participate in the Intermediate Session this time around.
