Philosophy

The Goucher College Field Hockey Camp is designed for female athletes, of all experience levels, from 8th to 12th grade. Campers will be placed in skill-appropriate groups to get the most from their training and competition. Utilizing Goucher College's top-notch facilities and elite coaching staff, the Goucher College Field Hockey Camp will strengthen fundamentals, develop new skills, and teach each athlete to strive for her best.

Our camp philosophy is built on the cornerstone of enthusiastic competition. Coaches will use small-sided games and dynamic drills to enhance each camper's knowledge of both the technical and tactical sides of the game.

Each player will need to wear athletic clothing and shin guards. Mouth guards are required. Goggles are NOT required.
