High School Varsity Summer League (June - July 2026)
Join us every Wednesday from June 10 - July 29, for fun and competitive field hockey games with the Colorado Bears!
Who Can Play:
- Players who were on their high school Varsity Team during the Fall 2025 Season, or candidates for Varsity 2026 (please ask your high school coach if you would be a good fit for this League.)
- Get your teammates to sign up and select your school during registration. We'll do our best to keep your group together, as long as the team size makes sense (teams are capped up to 15 field players and 1-2 goalkeepers this year to help with attendance). Alternatively, players can register in the 'House Team' (this is where to sign up if you do not see your school listed) and will be assigned to a team. Schools with fewer players will be combined.
- Select 2025-2026 U14 Travel Team players may also be invited to play in this league (NOT included in Travel Team fees). Please wait for an email invitation before signing up. Unauthorized current middle school players who sign up for this league may be removed without refund.
- Important Note: There will be no coaches for this League. It is Captain led, which is why we encourage teammates to sign up together and prepare for their upcoming fall seasons. Team Captains will communicate with their team weekly to ensure goalkeeper and player attendance. The feedback from last year was that most players enjoyed this method and we'll provide captains with guidance on better substitutions. There will be umpires for each game.

High School Winter (Dec 2026 - Mar 2027)
Stay tuned for details for the 2026-2027 High School Winter Season! The program is designed for players who want to grow their skills in a structured and positive training environment. Please review the program options before registering.
The goal of the program is to give players lots of touches on the ball and focus on fundamental skill development (think passing, receiving, block tackles, double teams, flicks on cage, etc)... and small sided games. The great thing about Indoor Field Hockey is games are limited to 5v5 so players get tons of touches on the ball. The Winter Season will also consist of one end-of-season Playday (Polar Bear Playday) for a fun-filled day of tournament style games with prizes and podium finishes!
