Select Academy Field Hockey (Travel)

IFHCK OUTDOOR

SELECT PROGRAM is for experienced players only- beginner level players to the sport should start in our Academy Programs: Rise (JK-7th) or Premier (8th-12th)

IFHCK offers travel team opportunities throughout the year for elite athletes who can fully commit to weekly team practices and tournaments during the season. Athletes interested in playing for an IFHCK Travel Team must register and attend tryouts unless they are exempt by the Director.​

All athletes invited to formally join IFHCK must be fully committed to the club’s principles of hard work, dedication, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Other than school field hockey in the fall, the expectation for travel team players is that their IFHCK team be their top athletic priority. ​

Below you will find Registration information and details for each age group. Evaluations for U14, U16 age groups will take place starting Tuesday, March 24th, with the exception of U19 which will be March 31st. U10 and U12 players will not have assessments, but will be evaluated throughout their first few sessions to figure out appropriate placement level.

*Please make sure to double check your daughter's correct USA Field Hockey age group before registering
