OVERVIEW

Massachusetts Maritime Academy is located in the heart of Buzzards Bay, MA. MMA’s state-of-the-art facilities provide the perfect environment for campers to develop their skills. This summer, join us for a fun camp experience that focuses on improving your field hockey skills.

The camp is open to all ages and ability levels. Each participant will be assessed and grouped with others of a similar age and skill level. Adjustments to groups may be made throughout the week to ensure campers have the opportunity to train with and compete against different players. Through a mix of drills, games, and scrimmages, each camper will have the chance to learn, improve, and enjoy field hockey in a supportive and dynamic environment.

This camp must comply with the regulations of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and be licensed by the Local Board of Health.
