Junior Programs
Vancouver Hawks Field Hockey Club operates a variety of programs for junior players (U5-U18) throughout the year.
Our club seeks to develop and support programs that align with our mission to develop lifelong involvement in field hockey and the principles of Canadian Sport for Life.
Our fundamental objectives are to maintain high-quality coaching, a variety of programming, personal development experiences, and fun through hockey and social connections.
The Club also adheres to the True Sport Principles.
Field hockey is a late specialization sport, and skills are advanced in line with cognitive and physical development.
Athletes 14 and under are encouraged to maintain participation in multiple sports.
Competitive and advanced skill opportunities are provided through the Hawks junior programs, FHBC programs, and integration of junior-age players into the senior teams at approximately age 14.
In this context, the Junior Spring Season remains primarily focused on social connections, skill development, and fun.
The Junior Spring Season also provides an opportunity for older junior athletes to participate in coaching, umpiring, and other volunteer roles, and athletes are encouraged to give back to the community and sport.
Vancouver Hawks is committed to making the sport accessible to all. We have a no-questions-asked policy around assistance with player registration fees.
