Overview
Our U14, U16, and U19 Travel Teams are for the top field hockey players in Colorado who are committed to playing at an elite level. Many of our Travel Team players aspire to play field hockey at DI, DII, or DIII schools or to become the best high school athletes they can be.
Travel Team players commit to balancing their schedules throughout the year to accommodate their athletic and academic commitments. They participate in 5 tournaments together from Dec-Nov with three seasons of training: Winter, Spring and Fall. Travel Teams practice 1-3x per week depending on the season.
Our U10 and U12 Travel Teams are meant to be fun and educational and provide our more advanced Little Bears with a training environment at a higher level.
