How does it work?
Our field hockey spring academy is designed just for kids aged 4–9, making it the perfect introduction to the exciting world of team sports. Over a fun-filled five-week season, your child will enjoy five 1-hour sessions packed with games, laughter, and plenty of learning.
No experience? No problem! This program is all about beginners. Kids will learn the basics of field hockey, teamwork, and sportsmanship in a supportive and engaging environment. To make sure everyone has a great time, players are grouped by age and skill level where it makes sense.
It’s more than just a sport—it’s an adventure that will have your little one building confidence, making friends, and loving every minute on the field. Let’s play! 🏑✨
