It is the mission of the directors to introduce the lifelong sport of field hockey to athletes of all ages ando instill the love and passion we feel for the game. It is our goal to supply athletes with the physical skills, knowledge and confidence needed to advance in the sport to whatever level they aspire to reach.
We understand how important it is to not just improve physical skills but to also boost self-confidence and to teach athletes how to be a good teammate and role model.
