Welcome to Field Hockey America!
We are dedicated to the growth and evolution of field hockey in the United States. We believe that the ultimate success of amateur sport is founded in varied communal programs and enriched and challenged by local, regional, national, and internationl opportunities, experiences, competitions, and education. We have traveled the world and experienced tournament play in field hockey clubs from Australia, Argentina, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy and the U.S. We have marveled at the openness and embracing style of those world powers at ALL levels when it comes to field hockey and have carefully and thoughtfully gleaned pertinent grassroot idealogies of those lands in spearheading this exciting movement. Join us as we partner to build a strong and passionate infrastructure of field hockey in the US and in your community.

2008 Philadelphia Field Hockey Extravanganza - A Success |
 |
Philadelphia College and University field hockey programs have announced the Philadelphia Field Hockey Extravaganza to be held Saturday August 23, 2008 at Buckley Field in Drexel University's Vidas Athletic Complex.
Participating Colleges and Universities each will play a one game match during the course of the event. Four full collegiate-length games are planned.
One purpose of the event is to showcase and highlight the sport of field hockey through the day-long competition to area high school field hockey athletes who have just finished a week of pre-season or for those that are about to begin their preseason. Another principle goal is to spotlight premier field hockey within the city of Philadelphia itself to the growing city school programs. Philadelphia high schools joined the PIAA two years ago as District 12. To date, NorthEast High School has represented District 12 in the PIAA AAA state field hockey tournament.
Field Hockey America will donate tshirts to the first 200 athletes attending this years inaugural event. FHA is also sponsoring free stick raffles during the course of the day and other events are planned.
Participating Universities: Drexel University, La Salle University, Lehigh University, Rider University, St. Joseph's University, Temple University, Villanova University, and the Netherlands Club Team MHC Beuningen from Nijmegen, NL. (www.mhcbgoesusa.nl)
