My child is new to field hockey, is that okay?
Yes, all levels of play are welcome! Our goal is to introduce the sport of field hockey to Belmont youth, and make it fun!

Check out this breakdown of Field Hockey 101.

Those of you thinking it is like ice hockey -- it is totally different! There are some unique things about field hockey, one of them being that yes, there are only right-handed sticks. While it may take lefties a few weeks to adjust, we see youth athletes adjust and excel in the sport. In fact, they may have an advantage with strength of their left hand in control of the stick.
