Overview
Our Denver Site welcomes over 100 middle school players each year, offering opportunities to develop their skills throughout the Fall, Winter, and Spring seasons. Whether you're new to field hockey or looking to take your game to the next level, we have a program for you!
Fall Season: Players without a school team can join us in our competitive Interscholastic Middle School Program, where we compete against St. Mary's, Kent Denver, Colorado Academy, Graland, and the Boulder Bears. This program provides structured gameplay experience while fostering teamwork and skill development.
Winter & Spring Seasons: Our Rising Stars Program offers weekly skills sessions and Playdays, which are mini tournament style game days designed for players to apply their skills in a game setting against local competition and their peers. This program is perfect for those looking to refine their technique in a fun and supportive environment.
Advanced Skills Training - NEW! For the first time, we’re offering Advanced Skills Training during the Spring Season. These sessions provide hands-on technical training with smaller coach-to-player ratios, focusing on advanced techniques such as:
- 3D skills
- Backhands & aerials
- Specialized shooting techniques
Looking for more competition? If you’re ready to take the next step, consider trying out for one of our Travel Teams, which offer the highest level competition, elite training, and the opportunity to travel around the country competing against other out of state club teams.
