Garvey Stags Field Hockey

Our Mission

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a fun, engaging, competitive, and safe environment to develop field hockey skills that prepares athletes to perform at high school, collegiate level, and beyond. 


We have talented and experienced staff with experience of coaching players from kindergarten through to D1 level and players who have progressed onto World & Olympic medal success. Our coaches have directly led to 50+ sport scholarships to athletes at the highest school level within a 6 year period. Results matter and our standing in the sport is second to none.


Our training environment encourages players to take ownership of their development, which is linked to our coaching ethos; to empower players to be inquisitive, challenge and learn from each other on a daily basis.  

Purpose

  • Our focus on technical and tactical development is world leading with proven results. We develop technical players who have a play forward mentality, with the ability to connect with teammates and develop decision making skills under pressure. Our aim tactically is to introduce players to different press and outletting scenarios to provide them with knowledge to help their decision making as they progress through their career.

  • Our aim is to provide the opportunity to provide a field hockey experience for everyone. If you want to get back into field hockey, introduce your children to the sport for fun and recreation or you have aspirations for your children to play college field hockey at DI, DII or DIII level and beyond, we have the experience and knowledge to make this a reality.
