Stealth Is Committed to Developing the Whole Field Hockey Player

Technical training focuses on the fundamental skills needed to excel in field hockey, including stick handling, ball control, passing, shooting, and tactical awareness. This training ensures that players not only improve their individual abilities, but also develop a deeper understanding of the game as a whole.

How we help players:

Dedicated Technical Director: We have appointed a technical director responsible for overseeing coaches and the curriculum, ensuring all players are taught in a consistent, high-quality manner.

Skill Development: Each session is structured to maximize touches on the ball, allowing players to refine their techniques and get comfortable in high-pressure situations.

Club-wide Playing Style: We implement a consistent playing style across all levels of the club, so each player understands how to contribute to team success.

1:1 Coaching: Players receive personalized feedback, with coaches offering individual guidance to target specific areas for improvement.

Sports performance goes beyond technical skills and focuses on building the physical strength, endurance, and agility required to perform at a high level in competitive field hockey. This includes conditioning, bodyweight exercises, and agility drills that improve overall athleticism.

How we help players:

Balanced Training Schedule: Players practice 3-4 times a week, incorporating sports performance into each session.

Conditioning Focus: Each practice includes at least 20 minutes of conditioning, ensuring that athletes are building stamina and fitness along with technical skills.

Agility and Strength Training: Norton Sports Health Performance & Wellness Center is excited to be partnering with Stealth Field Hockey. Our training sessions will consist of 3 training sessions per week. Each session will focus on a progressive total body approach to building overall athletic abilities, preventing injuries, and developing mental and physical confidence.
