One of the many cool things about field hockey is there are many similarities with other sports. That means there’s an opportunity to take a skill typically used elsewhere and apply it within a field hockey game successfully. Our Connecticut Field Hockey Camps (along with Revolution Camp locations elsewhere in the country) focus on a number of things to help youth field hockey players take their respective games to the next level. This includes speed and agility training, nutrition seminars, combine testing, personal evaluations, and a take-home drill booklet to keep players motivated. Something else that’s incredibly important that we do [Read More>]

At Revolution Field Hockey Camps, our directors make sure to spend time developing the mental and physical side of each player to help them reach the next level the following season and beyond.

What’s really helpful is that they don’t just see themselves as coaches – they’re role models representing the game they love, and they want to pass that love and passion down to the generations behind them. Whether you’re participating in one of our Maryland [Read More>]

Building Confidence in Field Hockey Players

thewixdr2025-01-07T16:38:35+00:00

In a fast-paced game like field hockey where the action is constant, having confidence in your own on-field abilities is incredibly important. Most of the time, being confident in your skills and the preparation you’ve put into your game up to that point is more than half the battle when it comes to experiencing success.

You love playing field hockey, but do you know where and how the sport you dedicate all this time to originated? If not, then you’re in luck, because we’re here to help. Forms of the sport can be traced back to as far as the ancient times in Egypt, Persia, and Greece, but field hockey as we know it today was developed a little later than that.

And that’s completely normal! Don’t worry about being nervous – this means you’re human.

How to Encourage Field Hockey Teamwork

thewixdr2025-01-07T16:38:35+00:00

As much as field hockey is focused on an individual, that particular player’s performance won’t mean much by the end of a game unless they’re working successfully with the rest of their teammates. Everyone needs to be working in unison with one another in order to advance toward that singular goal in their sight on the horizon. There are certain instances where creating team chemistry and cultivating an environment of selfless teamwork is easier than other times, but it’s not always something that comes naturally. So how can field hockey coaches help make this happen throughout the course of a season? [Read More>]
