About Undertow Next Level
Our Next Level program serves as a natural progression from GO Hockey into traditional field hockey. U10 players begin building toward the standard game from their GO Hockey experiences, while U12 players may experience the sport for the first time. With gradual introduction to the regulation ball and larger field play, athletes gain confidence and understanding in a familiar environment. Next Level provides a “light club” experience that prioritizes development, comfort, and growth.
Equipment Needed:
U12 Next Level: Shin guards (field hockey shin guards suggested by not required), tennis shoes or turf shoes, outdoor stick, mouth guard, black shorts for play day --- neon yellow socks and reversible jersey included in registration for new players
Projected Format:
U12 Coed Next Level: 15 min warm-up, 15 min learning rules (built in), 45 min skills, 30 min scrimmage
