From the FDL website: Fer De Lance Hockey Club is introducing a summer playing opportunity for younger players. During the one hour block, teams will practice basic skills (passing and trapping on front and reverse stick, elimination skills, etc) for 25 minutes and then scrimmage another team for the remainder of the hour. Player will train on astro turf at Ocker Field.

Four teams will compete for 6 weeks in a 4 v 4 league. Each week, teams will play a different team in the league. All teams will be coached by FDL alumni player coaches. Basic skills trainings will be designed by FDL Director Maren Langford.

Learn to play field hockey, develop stick and ball handling skills, and train and condition for playing the sport.

Camp coaches include collegiate field hockey athletes, and past and present Varsity high school players.

Sticks will be available to use during camp. Players must bring their own mouthguard, shin guards and water bottles to play. 

No experience is necessary. This camp is for students entering 4th through 12th grades in the fall of 2018.

$150 by June 1 /  $160 after June 1

For the past few years, Beach Middle School 8th graders have been tasked with creating Passion Projects the second half of the school year.  The projects vary -- from learning the ukulele (go, Molly!) to efforts to launch a new sports team (go, Nina!) to engaging in political activities, including a school walkout for gun control (go, Stella!).  These are just a few of the field hockey athlete projects. (Hopefully, we can share more soon.) Here, we share Makayla's Passion Project to collect used sports equipment for Detroit youth:
