overview
Gateway Field Hockey is proud to celebrate our 40th summer of field hockey camps in St. Louis! Since inception, thousands of athletes have attended Gateway camps and we already can't wait for another great year. Our founder and NFHCA Hall of Fame inductee, Kelly Yates, curated Gateway camps to include age/ability appropriate skill development, small game play, and tons of fun throughout with Gateway camp originals such as stick tug-o-war, the stick game, hockey bowling, and much more.
Gateway Camps are open to beginner, intermediate, and advanced players going into K-12th grade. Athletes will be grouped based on age, ability, and school/friend request at camp. We tailor each "camp within a camp" to specific age divisions and they are our favorite two weeks of the year! Grab your friends and attend Gateway camp for our 40th summer in St. Louis!
