Developing World Class Field Hockey in Maryland

Phase III U10-U19/Adult July Summer Program

July 7 - August 2 (4 weeks)

U10-Adult Players

Once a week, athletes will train with others in similar age/skill groups. The first half of each session will be instructional and the second half will be scrimmaging.  Due to the easing of COVID restrictions, we are able to have full practices!  Each session will be limited to 18 field players and 4 goalies to facilitate plenty of touches and minimal waiting in line. 


To accommodate schedules, register for each day separately and sign up for as many days as you want, spaces are limited!


*Goalies again are welcome to come take shots at any of our Club Program sessions for a $10 drop in fee.  Interested goalies should email Jesse: [email protected].  There are now four spots available per age group per night. You can view the goalie sign up sheet here to check for available spaces.


**For goalie specific training with Head Goalie Coach, UMD goalkeeper, and US Women's Indoor Team, Noelle Frost, contact Noelle directly: [email protected].
