SCHOLARSHIPS
We cannot offer scholarships due to NCAA regulations. Our affiliation with NCAA coaches and schools puts us in a position where any scholarship money can be seen as an inducement to a future collegiate athlete. This puts our coaches and our host universities in jeopardy of damaging their status with the NCAA and incurring penalties at the hands of their organizing body.
Camps are open to any and all entrants, limited only by number, age, grade level and/or gender.

60 Reviews
They train you at the level you need and make it fun, if you want to push youself they will step it up for you without a problem!
The Nike Camp at Adelphi University was the best camp I have been to and I go to 3-4 per year minimum, and Play hockey 3 seasons a year so I look forword to this camp for next year.
If you love field hockey and you want to get better this is definitely the camp to go to. Everybody wants you to improve and to have fun while you do so. You learn so much in just 4 days. What ever you need help with, the instructor will help you and by the end of the week you will be much better at that skill.
I recommend this camp to any player who wants to improve their skills. We worked on the fundamentals as well as some very advanced play. The campus was beautiful and the coaches were positive and always willing to help the campers. I was very impressed by this camp
My daughter loved this camp! Each day I picked her up, she was more excited then the previous day. She was sad to see it end! Her counselor, Jessica, was above & beyond! Looking forward to attending again next year!
My daughter loved everything about Nike Field Hockey camp! From her awesome counselor Kate, to the other girls she met, all while learning more about her favorite sport... she has an absolute blast every day. The weather was perfect everyday except the last one- so she was disappointed they didn’t do what was planned because everyone was inside but nevertheless she had a great time!
Coach Moore and her staff have done it again! Another excellent field hockey camp experience for my daughter, who is already asking me to send her back next year! We travel from Suffolk County for her to attend this camp at Adelphi University and it is worth it! She told me that she definitely feels as though she has improved her skills in the short time she attended and had fun doing it! Brava to the entire staff and especially her camp counselor, Lauren! The ultimate highlight was on the last day, when my daughter received a new field hockey stick as an award! What a fantastic time for her and I couldn’t be happier.
The head camp coach, Mary Moore, was wonderful. Her and her staff ran the camp professionally, well knowledgeable in field hockey and it was a fun bonding time too for her and her field hockey friends. Olivia’s coach, Jackie, taught her great skills and I feel Olivia will carry those tips into her Varsity season in the fall.
My child loved the advisers and their positive attitudes, she also enjoyed the scrimmages they had after lunch. Overall she had a very positive experience. :) I think you are doing everything perfectly and you don't need to change a thing. The advisers and camp director were very encouraging and friendly. They had a strong knowledge of the sport and made sure everyone understood what was being taught. The hydrating reminders were also helpful! In conclusion , it was a great camp with lovely people and a good learning environment for growing players.
She loved the instructors and how fun they made learning the sport. She also enjoyed the scrimmages.
This camp was very helpful I am a beginner and have never played in a game of field hockey before and this camp really helped me so when it's time for try outs at my school I will be more experienced. I played with people in my age group who were more advanced so they tried to help me improve and when I still struggled the couch would help me with techniques. This camp was very helpful.
Nike Field Hockey Camp offers excellent instructional skills and ample game time. My daughter looked forward to camp everyday.
My daughter has attended several field hockey camps. By far, she feels the Nike Camp offers the most competitive environment, strong skill training & great coaching. She will return next year for her third year at Adelphi's Nike Camp!
My daughter was very impressed with the coaching staff and how they took a personal interest in each player. They gave the kids plenty of breaks (it was hot) and were not too intense. My daughter came back to the camp a second time this year. She was very inspired by the coaches last year and participated in the futures program through the winter. We will definitely be back next year!
My daugher appreciated the professionalism and specific suggestions for how to improve her game. As her mom, I was very pleased how smoothly I was able to drop off her Epi-Pen for her peanut allergy. Also, it was fun for my daughter and her friends -- a great experience.

“Instructors listened and worked well with the campers, took many water breaks, made all campers feel welcome and needed.”

Gloria at Adelphi is the type of head-coach that motivates young women to push themselves in the best way. Her Nike field hockey camp has inspired my daughter, who has been attending for 2 years. Not only to stay focused in hockey, but to remember her academics in achieving her future sporting goals.
The Nike Camp at Adelphi University was the best camp I have been to and I go to 3-4 per year minimum, and Play hockey 3 seasons a year so I look forword to this camp for next year.
I would recommend Nike Camp to others because it is a great experience to be able to play on a college turf field with college players and coaches. By going to Nike FH Camp, you learn a lot more about the sport and leave camp with information you can share with others.

This is the best sports camp in general I have been to. I was hesitant about going at first because I didn't know anyone who was going and I wasn't from the area, but I turned out to make a lot of friends there, and the group they assign you into becomes really close even though you only meet for four days. My skills also improved so much! People have asked me on my school team how I am I so much better since last year and I honestly think it's from these four days!
I was afraid of doing a camp without anyone from my team, but everyone was so nice and the coaches and staff were great.
I would recommend this camp to any girl that plays field hockey. The instructors are amazing and they helped me improve my techniques and new skills for my position.

My daughter couldn't wait to get up early every day for camp to see what new skills she was going to learn and master that day. I wish the camp was longer or had a sleepover option. My daughter loved the supportive and competitive environment. The staff was knowledgeable, inclusive and made my daughter feel like there wasn't anything she couldn't achieve in life. The camp was easy to find and the campus staff helpful in maneuver around the campus. It was clean and well staffed.
Olivia enjoyed The Nike camp experience. The director and her staff were professional, friendly and very well knowledgeable in the sport of field hockey. My daughters learning experience just went up a notch from the camp. And she enjoyed meeting new friends too. I would recommend it.

“My daughter loved this camp it was very hands on and personal. I took my daughter to a much bigger division 1 camp and she like this camp so much more because at the Nike camp she met all the coaches and the coaches knew her name. She learned so much more at the Nike camp. My daughter and I would highly recommend this camp to any field hockey player.”
The staff were friendly and fun and my daughter was able to improve her skills while having fun with her friends
My daughter being so encouraged by camp coaches that she is thinking for the first time that she might want to play field hockey in college.

“This camp was excellent. The coaches were spectacular. They really worked on every skill. The camp really helped me learn more about defense. This is an amazing camp. Every position is covered, and our skills are put to the test with scrimmages”
Nike field hockey camp is excellent! I learned a lot and feel confident in my skills. Not only are you learning how to be a better field hockey player, but you have fun at the same time!!
Coaching was on point. The interaction between coaches and players was awesome. Skills and drills were a great way to warm up to game play where there was constant feedback from coaches. I will definitely be back next summer.
It was a great experience, and I as a camper enjoyed it so much, and my love for field hockey increased.
My daughter made new friends and is looking forward to working on her new skills she learned this past week.
My daughter enjoyed the Nike Field Hockey camp and felt that it totally elevated her level of playing. She feels that she will be better prepared going into the fall season at her middle school.
My daughter loved playing scrimmages and thought it was an effective way to apply skills. She just said that there should be a little more shade.
