Nexus, presented by Osaka Hockey, is USA Field Hockey’s Olympic Development Pathway Program, designed to help athletes take their game to the next level and develop the next Team USA Olympians. Nexus is an evolution of USA Field Hockey’s former Futures program, open to boys and girls ages 11 to 19 who are committed to their development and serious about improving their understanding of the game and working on individual and team skills and tactics. Whether a field player or goalkeeper, the concepts and principles presented in Nexus will support all athletes to reach their goals.
Nexus connects players with experienced coaches who are trained in "The USA Way", the framework that guides USA Field Hockey’s vision for athlete development and the game of field hockey across the country. Nexus coaches will help players master the skills and tactics crucial for long-term development and success, teaching principles of play that will remain consistent throughout the pathway. This unique program will create and build friendships, establishing a field hockey network, with connections that can last a lifetime.
