TEAM/GROUP DISCOUNTS
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 email the Nike Field Hockey Camps inbox ([email protected]) with the names of each camper in the group and we will create a unique discount code for your group. Campers may then register individually through the website at their convenience and apply the offer code during check out. *Discount amount varies by program. Please email for details.
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.

July 24, 2023: My daughter went in as a novice player worried that everyone would either already know how to play and/or already have friends there. She was able to learn new skills, grow as a player and also made a new friend. This is thanks to the set-up and activities that allowed her to learn, grow and meet kids her age. We will definitely sign up again next year.
