Overview
The Colorado Bears Field Hockey Club offers fun and instructional skills sessions and game days for our Elementary School players. This Spring, our Elementary School Players have two program options: Little Bears (K-5th Grade) and Advanced Skills (4-5th Grade). Our Little Bears program is for all skill levels. Players practice as a team and prepare for our Playdays which are mini-tournaments that are included in the program. Advanced Skills is for intermediate-advanced players ONLY. This program goes over specific technical skills for 75 mins once per week. Lastly, our elite players looking to challenge their skills can try out for our U10 or U12 Travel Team. Please check out our Travel Teams page for more info.
