Directors Note to Campers
"We are so excited to be back on the fields coaching and connecting with our athletes this Summer. We are eager to bring back a fantastic coaching staff motivated to teach and share their passion for the sport of field hockey. We are equally excited to say that our residential part of camp is back and was a huge success last year. We enjoy bringing teams together for pre-season bonding!
I have been teaching and coaching for over 26 years and the best part of camp is watching our coaches teach and share their love of the game with our campers. We believe when our athletes gain confidence and see improvements, they will be inspired to continue to work hard and improve their skills and knowledge of the game." - Laura Galopim

TEAM DISCOUNT
If you have a group of eight or more campers registering for the same camp, each camper is eligible for a discount. Please have someone contact the US Sports Camps office at 1-800-645-3226 with the names of each camper in the group and we will create a unique discount code for your group.

SCHOLARSHIPS
We cannot offer scholarships due to NCAA regulations.

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.

great experience
July 18, 2018: The staff assessed my daughter’s ability and encouraged her to move up to another level if she felt it was needed. She needed that encouragement and moved up after the first session. Addison thrived at the D-2 level, even earning an all star award. She loves playing with the older players and being pushed to use her skills. The staff did a great job putting players who knew each other close by in the dorms but also mixing them with new kids during sessions. It was a great experience overall.

Had a blast at camp
August 1, 2016: In the midst of stressing about playing collegiate field hockey, this camp was not only super helpful for keeping up with skills and gameplay but a great and crucial reminder that at the end of the day, field hockey is supposed to be fun.

International coaches
I think this was a really rewarding camp overall. I loved skit night, and the coaches were awesome. They even took into consideration having coaches from different parts of the world, which showed everyone different skill levels overall. This camp was really fun and rewarding, I learned a lot. Thanks!!
— Endicott College Camper '14

Encouraging coaches
I would definitely recommend this camp to others. It had the perfect balance of fun and intensity. The coaches were very helpful and encouraging. The turf field was nice because it gave the campers the opportunity to learn new advanced skills that they couldn't learn if they usually play on grass. I loved the camp and if I wasn't a senior, I definitely would go back next year!!!

One of the best camps I've ever been to.
The Nike Field Hockey Camp is a place where new friends are a guarantee. The coaches are always so happy and they never overworked any camper. You are placed in a group where you will be comfortable skill wise and age wise. This is a camp where we don't always play field hockey, there are other activities as well, like, going to the beach, skit night, and hanging in the lounge. The Nike Field Hockey Camp was one of the best camps I've ever been to.

I would recommend Nike camp to anyone who enjoys playing the game. The coaches teach you lots of good information. You also get a good little college experience. You have to be on time to the field and to meals. Rooming is fun too because you make new friends and learn to get along with others.

The Best!
This is the best for Field Hockey. I have done this FH Camp at Endicott College the last two years and did 2 weeks this year. This is one of the best camps I go to, and I play Varsity Ice Hockey, and JV Lax as a Freshmen at my HS. I want to play FH in College, and I think this camp will help me.
