We have a passion for the sport of field hockey and for its unique community.

We recognize that field hockey players tend to be:

• Leaders in their communities

• Willing to give back to their field hockey community

• Willing to work together to achieve a goal larger than their own personal goal

• Thoughtful 

We believe that every field hockey athlete develops and grows at their own pace.

Beliefs & Passions

• Every athlete should experience a variety of athletic endeavors.  We support programming plans that invest in multi-sport athletes.

• In order to grow the sport in the Great Lakes Region of the Midwest, we need to provide quality facilities that provide access to multi-training opportunities to athletes of all ages, experience and interest levels.

• The Great Lakes Region can grow the sport of field hockey at the youth, high school, club and collegiate level.

• Growing the game for boys and adults is possible in the Great Lakes Region.

• Athletes in the Great Lakes Region can be among the elite field hockey players in the country.

• Financial support, outreach, and development for geographic locations, families and athletes, where resources create barriers to growth and success. 

• To be the best you can be, your competition needs to be the best it can be. 

For optimal development and growth in sport, every athlete must be provided:

• Quality coaching

• Time to develop skills through experimentation & trial and error, with room to improve at their own pace

• Playing time in game situations to gain game understanding and tactical awareness

• Situations to experience both successes and failures
