Spring Field Hockey Clinic

SYA girls playing field hockey

Welcome to our 2025 Spring SYA field hockey clinics! SYA is happy to announce that both local High Schools (Centreville and Westfield) Varsity coaches will return to run our spring clinics. Fees are $40 per session. These are for players from 3rd to 8th grade.

The coaches and some of their players 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 May 4, May 18, June 1 and Jun 8 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. 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!
