Welcome to our Spring SYA field hockey clinics for 2024! 

Fees are $40 per session - you can register here - www.syasports.org

These sessions are for players from 1st to 8th grade.  Players will be grouped by age.  Clinics will focus on learning/developing the following: stick skills, different types of hits, passing, receiving, 1v1 defending skills, age-appropriate principles of team and off ball movement, and decision making.  Players may also scrimmage as part of the training.  Personal life skills will be modeled by the coaches and nurtured with the players - self confidence, proper communication, respect, work ethic, self-control, enthusiasm, teamwork, and leadership.

Clinics will take place on April 28, May 19, June 2 and June 9 from 1pm-2:30pm at Westfield High School Practice/Track, behind the school. .  You can sign up for one, two, three or all four clinics.  The clinics will be taught by the Westfield and Centreville High School coaches. All skill levels are welcome as are SYA Volunteer coaches.  Please sign up today!

A part of all registration fees will go towards the Westfield and Centreville High School Varsity Field Hockey programs!
