Our Little Bears Winter Program is for our youngest field hockey players who want to learn the sport for the first time or continue to develop their skills. Due to limited indoor space, this program is capped at 35 players.

The season is comprised of weekly skills sessions along with 2 "PLAYDAYS". Playdays are a multi-hour event where players are split up into teams within the Denver and Boulder Bears programs and compete against one another in small sided games. Mark your calendars because Playdays are a BLAST!
