  DAILY CAMP

  Get ready for a high-energy, fun-filled week of field hockey! Basic skills, offensive and defensive techniques, strategies, and positional play will be taught with a positive, fun, and challenging approach at a level appropriate for the experience and ability of each camper. Skills will be developed through drills, small games, and scrimmages. An emphasis on the importance of warming-up, stretching, good nutritional habits, and POSITIVE thinking for the athlete will be incorporated throughout the week. Athletes must provide their own equipment (mouthguard, stick, cleats/turf shoes/sneakers, shin guards, water bottle; goalies must have their own equipment or see your coach BEFORE camp if you use school equipment). Water and a snack will be provided each day. The last day of camp will be filled with fun competitions and games - a “FUN DAY” to wrap up camp.
