1.  Skill Development: 

We focus on fundamental skills like dribbling, passing, shooting, and game strategies. Each practice is designed to cater to different skill levels, ensuring personalized instruction and growth for every player.

2. Teamwork and Sportsmanship: 

Field hockey is all about teamwork. We emphasize communication, cooperation, and respect, helping players understand the importance of being a supportive team member both on and off the field.

3. Fun and Fitness: 

Our practices are engaging and enjoyable, incorporating games and activities that keep players motivated. Fitness is a natural part of the program, helping players build strength, agility, and endurance in a fun environment.

4. Experienced Coaches: 

Our dedicated coaching staff brings a wealth of knowledge and a positive attitude to each practice. Darren Smallhorn (Former US National Team Athlete, former D1 collegiate coach and Owner of DELTA field hockey), and DELTA Field Hockey's staff are partnering with the Brookfield High School Field Hockey team to provide these opportunities for youth players. Everyone is committed to creating a supportive and encouraging atmosphere where players of all abilities and experiences can thrive and have fun.

5. Equipment: 

All participants will need their own field hockey stick, mouthguard, and shinguards. We will have some sticks for new players who are just trying out the sport to borrow during the program. For those interested in purchasing a stick (or other field hockey equipment such as mouthguards and shinguards) we recommend checking out this new local field hockey store: www.northeastsportingoods.net
