Event Description
INDIVIDUAL / TEAM CAMP
Saints Field Hockey Camp offers a different approach to typical camps. We have partnered with Grit Training and owner Margaret Ott (also a Maryville FH Volunteer Coach) to run daily Grit sessions for the first hour. This is a time where all athletes are challenged individually and pushed to a level they didn’t believe they had in them – that’s the Grit within. Coaches can see the pride in every athletes’ smile and high fives with campers.
The rest of the morning is split into 2 segments – technical and tactical. Technical focuses on the basic fundamentals that all athletes (regardless of level) should be practicing. The final 2 hours are focused on the tactical side of the game – the cognitive side centered around decision making within various game situations. This includes a lot of board work, film sessions inside, and journaling/note taking. Understanding the game on a broader level will help set athletes apart and become better leaders and decision makers on the field.
In the afternoon, Campers have the option to join in on an open play pick up scrimmage. Depending on the numbers this could be a full field game, or two side-side games. These games will have umpires and our college athletes will coach each team.
Guest Speakers for Mini Workshops (Monday-Wednesday). Optional Admissions sessions. Tuesday August 4 from 12:15-1pm - Hearing from our Admissions Team about what Maryville University has to offer. Optional Film purchase will include Skill Drill Film Sessions only for player recruiting.
