All great players get their
start somewhere.
And now with USA Field Hockey’s new program, getting started has
never been easier.
Designed specifically for boys and girls ages 8-11, Stick Starz
introduces young players to the game while building a foundation of
solid skills. So whether your young athlete dreams of being an
Olympic star or just wants to have a lifetime of field hockey fun
and fitness, can get them started today.
How future stars get started.
Start young, have fun and love the game. Stick Starz focuses
on a fun method of teaching skills through small games.
Stick Starz consists of eight, 1 ½ hour sessions with 45
minutes dedicated to skill development and 45 minutes of fun, small
games designed to enhance and reinforce the skill development
portion of the program.
The USA Field Hockey National Coaching staff developed the Stick
Starz program based on the skills necessary to develop good, sound
field hockey fundamentals. In addition, Stick Starz athletes receive
expert instruction from the same knowledgeable Olympic Development
staff currently coaching in the Futures program. Athletes
reaching the age of 12 or entering 7th grade may be recommended into
USA Field Hockey’s Futures Program from Stick Starz based on their
performance.
Need Equipment? Come with
your big brother's or sister’s equipment or purchase a
Stick Starz Starter Kit from
Harrow Sports.
The pack includes all the mandatory equipment needed to get started:
Field hockey stick, shin guard, mouth guard and Stick Starz T-shirt.
