DSYFH is offering a beginner / developing skills clinic series in the Spring for grades K - 6th. Players are broken into age and skill groups and coached by the DS Varsity Field Hockey Coach, Molly McGill and Varsity Team players. This is a great opportunity for brand new players to try field hockey and for our developing players to continue to work on their skills in the off season.
Each clinic is designed with beginner and developing players in mind. The clinics will build on each other; however, we will review fundamental skills at the beginning of each session, so do not worry if your player is unable to attend every clinic day.
Saturdays, April 27-May 18, 1-2:30 p.m. (one hour of skills and 30min scrimmages), DSHS Turf Field
