About the Field Hockey Academy
North Vancouver School District in partnership with Field Hockey BC (FHBC) offers the Field Hockey Academy, which provides programming for all students male and female, regardless of their field hockey experience.
The
Field Hockey Academy is led by FHBC and is complimentary to FHBC's
Regional Program. As a result, all Academy players, provided they meet
the selection criteria and program policies, will be eligible to compete
in the Regional Tournament where Provincial Team selections are made.
The
program consists of a field hockey curriculum focused on holistic
athlete development, including technical/tactical skills training,
strength and conditioning, and performance education, and the Physical
and Health Education curriculum established by the B.C Ministry of
Education. Students earn their grade level P.H.E. credit upon successful
completion of the program.
Who can Participate?
The Field Hockey Academy is open to students
in Grades 8-12.
Participation in the Field Hockey
Academy will not affect a student's eligibility to play for their home
school's Field Hockey team.
