Consistently a favorite part of the wider NIT event for spectators, athletes, coaches and umpires, the single day event draws crowds to watch these dedicated athletes compete.
The program was developed by a working group between the FIH and International Special Olympics to develop life skills through sport, that carry off the pitch into life. Field hockey provides great leadership, maturity and athletic opportunities for athletes of every ability, with and without disabilities. USA Field Hockey’s All Starz program is tailored to the unique needs of athletes with disabilities to ensure their access to the joy and benefits of playing hockey.
All Starz Field Hockey is recreationally competitive but, if successful, may grow and develop to include internationally competitive opportunities for individuals and/or teams. Click here to learn more.
