USA Field Hockey ADM Clinic Interest Form
The USA Field Hockey American Development Model (ADM) is a guiding framework for players, coaches, umpires, program leaders and fans to discover field hockey earlier and stick with it longer. Its principles are based on age and stage appropriate development on how, what and when to teach, train and play. The USA Field Hockey ADM Clinics are supplemental programming developed from this framework as a means to provide affordable and accessible turnkey programming that can be delivered across the country.  

Discover Field Hockey clinics are for clubs, teams, schools or anyone interested in growing the sport.  Discover Field Hockey has two versions - Discover Field Hockey and Discover All Starz Field Hockey.  You may apply for one or both versions.

                      will require a 7:1 player to coach ratio, children 8 years of age will require a 8:1

                      videos in advance of the clinic. Curriculum and videos will be emailed to host 
                      in advance.  

        4. Make sure that all coaches have a current USA Field Hockey Membership at least 3 weeks before the 
            clinic date.

        5. Secure/rent a facility.
                    - Facilities can be indoor or outdoor.

            booked, registration can exceed 100 participants.

        7. Close registration 12-14 days prior to the clinic date. This will provide an adequate 
            amount of time to fulfill the equipment order and to secure the appropriate number 
            of coaches for the clinic.
