About Us
Our Story
At DELTA Field Hockey, we’re more than just a club — we’re a family.
Our coaching and administrative staff share a unique bond, having all been coached and mentored by Darren Smallhorn, the founder and heart of DELTA. From a young age, we’ve grown together — as players, teammates, and friends — forming a deep-rooted culture of support, trust, and shared passion for the game.
That same culture is the foundation of everything we do. Our goal is to create a fun, competitive, and caring environment where players are supported both on and off the field. We are committed to giving back to the sport that has given us so much — by developing athletes, fostering personal growth, and building meaningful relationships that last a lifetime.
At DELTA, we’re proud to extend our family to you — to grow the game, support one another, and have a lot of fun along the way.
