JUNIOR CLUB (2014 or later)

Registration
NOW OPEN - click here to register!


NEW! Aim now offers a Junior Club option for any U10 eligible players (birth year 2014 or later; 1st grade or older) who are interested in combining the League experience with additional training to elevate your game. Athletes play in our K-6 League on Sunday afternoons plus experience Club-level training one night a week. This allows 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!
