If you participated in Nexus and have graduated high school, then Senior Nexus is for you! Or if you are new to the USA Field Hockey Pathway and want more training opportunities outside of your college environment, then Senior Nexus is for you, too. If you have graduated from college and want to continue your high-level training, then Senior Nexus is for you, too.
The Senior Nexus training sites are for collegiate and post-collegiate athletes interested in high-level training from top-level coaches in their area. Athletes who have graduated high school are welcome to register, all the way up to those with post-collegiate USWNT aspirations.
We do not require you to register for a site in a certain region. You can pick the region that has the most convenient training site and dates for you.
You can attend Senior Nexus training sessions near where you go to school or near where you live. If you need to attend some sessions at one site and some sessions at another site, please fill out this form.
The fee for the 2026 Senior Nexus program is $425.00, which includes all training sessions at your site and either a GK Jersey or Field Player Pinnie. Additional fees will apply if advanced to Senior Nexus Championship and beyond.
2026 Financial aid application is here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeSnUYFRwraU0YiRbwrSCqHoo4UphAySkMpq2-0FbNp0b1IlQ/viewform…
Non-medical refunds will only be issued up to the start of that site’s first training session. Medical refunds will be granted upon the submission of a doctor’s note to seniornexus@usfieldhockey.com.
At the conclusion of the Senior Nexus training sites, selected athletes will be invited to the Senior Nexus Championship. From the Senior Nexus Championship, athletes can be invited to the U-21 Junior National Camp or any future opportunities in the Development/USWNT Pathway.
