U8/U10/U12/U14
FALL SEASON
Full Season
OVERVIEW OF FALL TRAINING
Our youngest age groups - u8, u10, u12, and u14 - will train together through the Fall 2024 season. The season includes… eight Tuesday sessions focused on technical training and small-sided games and four Saturday sessions of 7v7 scrimmaging (split age groups).
Fall training welcomes participants of all experience levels. At these ages, it's crucial to teach proper stick handling, correct passing and receiving technique, and begin developing hockey IQ. Our experienced staff, who began playing field hockey at a young age themselves, ensures this essential technique is taught by coaches who understand the game at its highest level.
Given the busy Fall season for many field hockey families, there will be no tournaments offered during the Fall season for these age groups. Thus, the only opportunity for VT FHC Fall U8/U10/U12/U14 Training is at the Tier 1 level. U14 athletes interested in playing at the U16 Shooting Star Thanksgiving Recruiting Showcase are eligible pending available spots. If interested please reach out to Haley at vermontfhc@gmail.com.
LOCATION
Practices will be held at Moulton Winder Field on the University of Vermont campus. This is a premier surface that field hockey needs to be taught and played on. It helps athletes learn how to become technically exceptional field hockey players and adapt to a faster game as they grow in the sport.

Half Season
OVERVIEW
NEW OPPORTUNITY! We are excited to offer a new U8/U10/U12/U14 program designed for players who need to manage external commitments. This option allows participants to engage in just half of the season. Under this plan, players will attend the round robin tournament that will occur on Saturdays (four sessions) and the last two Tuesday practices of the season. The Saturday sessions will simulate a middle or high school season, providing valuable gameplay experience. Tuesday practices will focus on technical skills and small sided games. All sessions will take place on Moulton Winder Field.
