Profile

One of the best ways for experienced high school and college players to learn more about the field hockey and develop their skills is through coaching. In our rec and summer programs, our student coaches help teach skills and concepts they themselves have learned (or are learning) to athletes that are often new to the sport. By challenging our coaches to find creative and engaging ways to teach skills to a new generation of players, they are not only only developing their leadership and communication skills but also learning field hockey from a coaching and strategic lens.

A special thank to all our other student coaches who have stepped in to help with our rec and summer programs.
