There are two types of opportunities for college students to play with university-affiliated teams:
varsity and club

Varsity Field Hockey

In Kentucky, four schools have Varsity programs. Two programs compete at the NCAA Division 1 level and two at the Division 3 level. 

In order to play at the Varsity level in college, athletes typically have to be recruited out of high school.

At the Division 1 level, the University of Louisville competes in the ACC  and Bellarmine University competes in the MAC.  At the Division 3 level, Centre College and Transylvania University both compete in the SAA.
