MESSIAH UNIVERSITY FIELD HOCKEY CAMP

Mini Falcons Camp

June 10-13, 2024               Time: 6:00-8:00 pm              Cost: $125               Boys & Girls entering grades 1-6

*Online registration closes at noon on Friday, June 7

Our Mini Falcons Camp focuses on teaching the basics of the sport through fun drills and games.  It is our goal to create a positive, encouraging environment that will help young boys and girls learn and love the game of field hockey.

Campers are divided into groups based on their age and ability levels.  Each camper will be assigned a team with a coach that will be with them for the entire week.

Most staff members are current Messiah field hockey players and are chosen on the basis of their ability to teach, demonstrate, and be enthusiastic. Our coach-to-player ratio is better than 1:9 and all staff must be committed to high moral and ethical standards.

COVID POLICY:

All campers are asked to not attend if they are exposed to COVID within 3-5 days prior to camp. If any campers begin to develop symptoms while at camp, we have the capability to administer a rapid antigen test, however parental consent must be obtained to administer a test.  A parent may also choose to come and pickup his/her camper if they choose to not test for COVID. 

We ask campers to practice healthy hand washing and cough hygiene practices.

*Policies are subject to change based on CDC and institutional recommendations.
