Last year we had a huge success with our youth development program.
We had over 35 young boys and girls playing year round with a couple
players competing at the next level. We are looking forward to another
great year and getting more players out to play.
This year the league will be on the indoor full field turf facility
in Parker, Colorado. We have the facility for 11 sessions through
March at which point we will move outdoors to Kent Denver turf field
for the April and May sessions.
This primary goal of this program is to teach young players the
skills and love for the sport of field hockey. Coaches will focus
on the fundamental skills and rules for the game in a fun learning
atmosphere. Each session is in a clinic format with skill development
followed by game playing. Skill development will be age and physical
ability appropriate. Several coaches will be on hand to coach.
Our secondary goal is to prepare young players to compete at the
California Cup tournament in CA. The tournament is not required,
but if we have enough interest it is a great tournament and the
only one in the nation that provides a U9 and U12 division. Young
players from around the nation travel to this tournament and have
a wonderful time. The atmosphere is fun and really promotes the
sport. (More information about Cal Cup will be provided in Jan)
