FALL 2024 PROGRAM OVERVIEW
GRADES K-4
House program where we will place players in regular practice groups or “teams” that will practice together and scrimmage together each week during their Saturday session. Given the larger numbers, we believe that this will facilitate a greater sense of organization and foster teamwork between the players.
The K-2 Program will focus on getting familiarized with stick and ball and small sided games.
The 3/4 Program will focus on field hockey fundamentals and small-sided in-house games each week. Playdays will be scheduled with similar programs towards the end of the season in addition to the in-house games.
We need a volunteers (4-6 minimum) to help manage each practice group. Please contact Clara Ambrose, claraambrose1@gmail.com if you are interested, we need you!
