Little Bears Winter Program (Dec 2025 - Mar 2026)

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. The program is comprised of weekly skills sessions, one Scrimmage Day and one end of season Playday!

Indoor hockey is similar to outdoor hockey but played on a smaller field and on a faster paced surface vs turf. Indoor rules are slightly different from regular outdoor hockey and the format is 5 field players and a goalie due to the smaller playing area. There are also side boards that help keep the ball in play more and make for a faster more controlled game.
