This fall field hockey training program is designed for grades 1-4. As a club program, registration is open to players from any school district.

Each gathering will include learning basic field hockey skills and playing rules, ending with scrimmage time in later weeks. Activities will take place Mondays from 5-6pm, on the indoor turf at MSA Woodland in August/September, and at the Mary Free Bed YMCA in October.

The program will be led by USA Field Hockey member coaches, with help from current Forest Hills high school players.

Required equipment includes a field hockey stick, shinguards, and mouthguard. Dick's Sporting Goods on 28th St. carries some field hockey equipment. We also recommend the beginner equipment packages available at longstreth.com for as little as $35. A few sticks are available to borrow from us if you want to try out different types/lengths before buying.
