Fall 2023 Club General Information
The fall season is an excellent time for Aim’s younger Club athletes to improve their skills and gameplay. In the fall, teams will meet twice a week. Teams consist of dedicated athletes from throughout the St. Louis metro area. During the season, teams train with our high-level coaching staff. Aim takes each training session, practice, and game as an opportunity to teach techniques that are coached at the highest levels. We bring out the physical strength and mental fortitude needed to be a successful athlete. As we teach game tactics, our athletes are learning to become better decision-makers on the field. We train athletes to overcome limitations, improve leadership, illustrate discipline, value teamwork, and understand commitment.

NEW! We are now offering a Junior Club option for any U10 eligible players (birth year 2013 or later; rising 1st grade or older) who are interested in combining the League experience with additional training to elevate your game. Athletes will play in our Fall K-6 League on Sunday afternoons plus train alongside our U10 Club athletes on Tuesday evenings. This will allow for a blend of low-key League play with schoolmates and friends, combined with higher-level training in the core fundamentals of field hockey across a 9-week period. Get a taste of our well-known and well-respected Club program. A great hybrid option for the family wanting more than League, but not quite the full Club experience!
