State Chapters are volunteer-led extensions of USA Field Hockey and its 501c3 charitable status, sharing responsibility for serving their local field hockey communities and helping them to grow.

USA Field Hockey’s mission is to Grow the Game, Serve and Inspire Membership and Succeed Internationally. State Chapters have the added goal of succeeding locally. They focus on promoting and increasing field hockey opportunities in their state, supporting and uniting stakeholders to succeed both on and off the field.

State Chapters work with clubs, schools, multisport organizations and all stakeholder groups; players, parents, fans, coaches, umpires, program leaders and administrators, teams, leagues, donors and sponsors to be the lead for all things field hockey in their state, including how and where to enjoy local field hockey. State Chapters help drive grassroots growth!

State Chapter Expansion Plan

In 2019, USA Field Hockey launched the first pilot State Chapter in Michigan. Since then, ten additional State Chapters have formed: Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Wisconsin. The goal for the future is continued expansion, providing exponentially more field hockey opportunities.

Process for Launching a State Chapter:

USA Field Hockey will throw a wide net of outreach to community leaders to get involved
USA Field Hockey will hold informational webinars on opportunities
Volunteers step forward
State Chapter Leaders elected by USA Field Hockey Members in the State
Leaders become established, fill committees
USA Field Hockey provides start-up resources to State Chapter - financial, technology and support
State Chapter leaders work with USA Field Hockey and other State Chapter leaders to develop and execute on a customized State Chapter Strategic Plan
