About:
We provide free clinics and practice for any Guilderland student grades K-6 in the sport of field hockey.
We ran our spring introduction clinic on Sunday April 30.
We had 4 adult certified coaches and 10 varsity/jv level HS athletes volunteer.
We had 45 students registered for the clinic!
We will offer a mini-season 4 Mondays in June. After that we all volunteer to run the town of Guilderland Field Hockey camp end of July through early August. Once we are back in season our youth program picks up again at the end of August through early October practicing one time a week and playing in play days with other schools on Sundays.
We are looking to continue to expand on the program now that we have turf to play on at Guilderland! It’s great seeing the hs athletes give back to their sport and community!
In a calendar year, the girls work roughly 24-36 total hours each. We rotate them so they don’t attend all practices/playdays and camps but they often work extra because they enjoy it so much!
