The Washington Wolves “Rec Squad” is a recreational program that develops the skills and field hockey knowledge of players in elementary and middle school. For most children, field hockey is a sport that they are only exposed to in middle school or, for many, in high school. This recreational program is designed to introduce the sport to girls and boys in elementary and middle school, with the hope that they will learn and love the sport as much as our coaches do.
Coaches include current and former college field hockey players from top programs, including Syracuse University, Tufts University, American University, University of Maryland and Roanoke College to name a few. Don’t miss out on a great opportunity to develop your field hockey skills!
The goals of the Req Squad are to:
- Teach players the rules and build on concepts
- Develop their fundamental skills, such as dribbling and passing, and introduce more advanced skills for both
- Challenge them and teach them life skills and lessons, such as the values of practice, hard work, and teamwork
- Create a fun and positive environment for them to learn field hockey
Spring Rec Squad Program (K-8th grades)
This spring, we will be hosting our spring OUTDOOR recreational program that will include approximately 60 minutes of skills and 30 minutes of games. We will also hold a Play Day during the spring season that will host other development teams and rec programs in the area so that players can experience a “mini tournament.”
We will break the groups up in the same way the club does for age divisions (U8, U10, U12 and U14). For new players, we may have a player train with a younger age group, and for advanced players, we may have them play with an older group so that they can get the most out of this experience and learn at a pace that matches their skill level.
