FACILITIES-
The Northeast Field Hockey Clinic will be held on the campus of The Governor's Academy located in Byfield (Newbury), MA.  This private school campus is situated in a beautiful quiet setting which will allow the girls to become proficient while enjoying a unique experience, wholesome and worthwhile.  This is the place and opportunity for them. The facilities are excellent.  The clinic will utilize two new outdoor artificial turf fields, 8 regulation grass field hockey fields, 4 indoor 1/2  field synthetic surfaces, gymnasium, field house, 5 dormitories, dining area, and all other facilities of the Academy.

This clinic is  planned for mid-July so that all of the girls will be able to carry and practice their learned skills right into the up and coming fall season.

 Unlike many other clinics, we can offer access to two new outdoor artificial turf fields and four indoor 1/2 fields.  Our SYNTHETIC PLAYING SURFACES allow us to offer instruction and playing time on a field that will enhance eye hand coordination, balance, quickness, agility, stick skills, ball possession, accuracy, timing, overall individual skills and hence; self-confidence, plus, FUTURES TESTING.

PROGRAM-
This clinic is designed to meet the needs of Advanced, Intermediate and Beginner field hockey players. Every girl will be given individual instruction with a stress on fundamentals  in a low participant / staff ratio.

Comments From the Director

Entering my sixth year as Director of Northeast Field Hockey Clinic, I look to continue the same fervor and drive into the clinic program that enabled me to become a two-time all American during my undergraduate days with the River Hawks and eventually to become the Head Coach at my alma mater. 

Having attended Northeast Field Hockey Clinic during my middle school and senior high school years, as well as working at a NEFHC as both an Assistant Coach and a Head Coach, I feel I am highly qualified and ready to continue and annually enhance the already existing quality of this field hockey clinic that has passed the test of time for the past 32 years.

I also, have been associated with numerous high level field hockey camps as a Head Coach working with beginners, intermediates, and top college candidates.

My goal is to create an opportunity for each and every attendee to learn the sport of field hockey through current drills and fundamentals (the key to success) from highly qualified coaches, while having an enjoyable experience at the same time (fun).

Come join us for an updated, exciting and all-inclusive exposure to field hockey.  -Shannon
