Hawks At Home

Practice your skills, 15 - 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week!

Prepared by Vancouver Hawks and Canadian Men’s National Team players Oliver Scholfield and John Smythe

Welcome to Hawks At Home!

Many aspects of field hockey can’t be replicated inside, but some skills and aspects of your own game can be improved and developed while at home.

Here is a simple 15 to 30-minute program with 5 exercises that can be done at home to improve your skills and have fun!

We recommend doing the whole program 2 or 3 times throughout the course of the week.

Follow along on our social media for challenges to complete each one!

If you’re unsure of how to do any of the exercises, demonstration videos from our coaches can be found below. Enjoy!
