Offered in the Fall only. Season details available in Summer.
Welcome to the home of Olney Field Hockey.
Field hockey is one of the most popular high school sports within the Metro area, and there are very few programs that support youth interested in learning the sport. The Olney Field Hockey program was created to offer youth the opportunity to learn and play the sport of field hockey. We want to be the best recreational program in the area focused on promoting and educating players, coaches and families in the skill, knowledge, sportsmanship and love of field hockey. We are working towards growing the game of field hockey, so join us!
We will be offering a field hockey clinic this fall for all players ages K-8th grade.
Fall 2022 Field Hockey (Clinics): $150
Format: Held on Saturdays beginning September 10th through October 29th; each clinic will focus on a different set of fundamentals and for the older kids will end with scrimmages and small games.
Sessions:
#1 Grades K-4th from 2-3pm at OBGC fields
#2 Grades 5-8th from 3-4:30pm at OBGC fields
Equipment: Olney FH provides uniforms and specialized goalie gear. Players are required to have a field hockey stick, mouth guard, reversible shin guards, white and black socks and field shoes (cleats and/or sneakers). ***We are requiring all players in our House League to wear goggles this year for games and practices. The goggles are the same that are worn by lacrosse players; these are worn to protect players from sticks and balls while in play.
Coaches/Volunteers: We are always looking for volunteers to get involved with our program; with increased interest and player participation, we need coaches to field our growing teams.
Clinic and practice instruction will be provided by an area HS Field Hockey Coach. Parents will be asked to volunteer to coach during games.
OBGC provides NYSCA (National Youth Sports Coaches Alliance) certification training and encourages training through US Field Hockey. If you are interested in coaching or assistant coaching please indicate so when you register.
If you have any questions, please contact us at fieldhockey@obgc.com. For registration questions, please contact obgcadm@obgc.com.
We look forward to having you as part of our Olney Field Hockey family!
