CLUB OF THE WEEK WEDNESDAYS
On Wednesdays throughout 2021, USA Field Hockey highlights an active club from one of the nine regions around the United States to shine a spotlight on what makes Member Clubs unique. 
Check out March's featured clubs:
 
 
AN OPPORTUNITY,
A VOICE: NO LOCKER FOR RACISM
"I understood that no matter how hard I worked, how nice I would be or how many goals I scored, I was seen as different to many people in the locker room. I saw nothing wrong with being who I was, but many others did."
From her experiences, Courtney Deena developed No Locker for Racism, a campaign that reflects a stage in her life, giving her the opportunity to regain her voice and use it to support others.
"BEHIND THE WHISTLE" SCENARIOS
Each week, USA Field Hockey's Umpiring Department provides video clips for educational purposes on recent plays/calls. These scenarios are designed to help the entire field hockey community better understand rules and rule application.
This first of its kind forum is hosted by USA Field Hockey and promises to provide attendees from all sports with unique and diverse ideas that can help them push the field of goalkeeping coaching forward.

This 3-hour, virtual forum will be held live on Zoom on Thursday, May 20 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET.
