Empowering Athletes
on and off the field
Field Hockey programs designed to teach leadership, build character, and inspire confidence.
We are more than field hockey. Through game-based play and our signature Play Beyond the Game lessons, we empower athletes to grow as leaders on and off the field—building character, confidence, and resilience every step of the way.
Spring Season
Our Spring 2026 programs feature weekly practices that blend intentional field hockey training with meaningful Play Beyond the Game leadership lessons. Open to 1st – 12th graders, we offer three levels of play so every athlete can learn, grow, and be appropriately challenged. Throughout the season, players build skills, confidence, and leadership that carry beyond the field. Join us this spring in Wheaton, MD; Alexandria, VA; or McLean, VA for sessions rooted in growth, connection, and joy.
Summer Camps
Our Summer Camps offer multi-day field hockey experiences that blend intentional skill development with Play Beyond the Game leadership lessons. Open to elementary through high school athletes, our camps meet players where they are as they build skills, prepare for the season ahead, and grow as confident leaders. Each camp blends skill development, decision-making, and teamwork in a fun and supportive environment. Join us to learn, play, and grow on and off the field.
WINTER Season
Our winter programs are currently underway and are organized across three levels of play or athletes in 1st–12th grade. Sessions take place at three locations: Alexandria, VA (indoor court surface), Chantilly, VA (indoor field turf), and Wheaton, MD (fully covered field turf). Each week, athletes participate in purposeful field hockey training and Play Beyond the Game lessons that support growth in skill, confidence, and character.
What Sets us Apart
Discover how we blend field hockey with life lessons to empower athletes. From our game-based approach to our unique “Play Beyond the Game” curriculum, we focus on fostering leadership, resilience, and a growth mindset. Our programs are intentionally designed to support athletes’ physical, mental, and emotional development, creating confident individuals ready to tackle any challenge.
We Embrace Failure!
Failure is often seen as something to avoid, but at Beyond Sticks, we see it as a critical part of growth. Coach JoJo shares how she continued to return as a player and now a coach for our programs as it helped her reframe failure—from a fear to a tool for learning and progress.
Let JoJo tell you more.
