The better question may be... WHY NOT?
Field hockey isn’t only a sport boys can enjoy—it’s fast-paced, exciting, and one of the world’s most popular sports for good reason. We fully support multi-sport athletes and believe field hockey is an amazing opportunity for boys to play simply for the enjoyment of the game—whether it becomes their main sport or an off-season sport. Hockey develops coordination, positioning, field awareness, footwork, endurance, teamwork, and quick decision-making—skills that transfer naturally to many other sports.
Tidewater Undertow gives boys a pathway to continue playing as they grow: beginning with GO Hockey, moving into coed 7v7 play through Next Level, advancing into our coed Club program, and eventually joining Tidewater’s coed adult community. It can be a first sport, a second sport, or a sport for life.
USA Field Hockey "encourages all member clubs to embrace field hockey as a sport for all, and a sport for life." We encourage boys to join in the fun with the goal of having a dedicated boys program for older boys, in the future.
