Middle School Winter Program (Dec 2026 - Mar 2027)

Stay tuned for details for our 2026-2027 Middle 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!
