Located at Sutherland Secondary, Grades 8-12
The Field Hockey Academy is scheduled for Day 1 Block 4.
In partnership with
Field Hockey BC (FHBC), the academy provides for the participation of all students, regardless of their field hockey experience. The program consists of a field hockey curriculum as set out by Field Hockey BC and is in compliance with the BC Ministry of Education Prescribed Learning Outcomes for Physical Education. Students earn their grade-equivalent P.E. credit upon successful completion of the program.
Academy players are eligible to dovetail into regional programming for a four-week tactical block prior to the regional tournament in April (at which initial Provincial selections are made). A pro-rata charge for players who meet the criteria and wish to pursue the Provincial opportunities will be charged.
