Learn to Play for our Youngest Athletes!
ABOUT MINI STICKS
Mini Sticks is the perfect opportunity for girls and boys ages 3-6 years old learn the game of field hockey in a fun, informative, and exciting environment. Our coaches do an excellent job introducing the athletes to the most basic skills while developing them to be able to play small sided games and of course keeping it super fun and engaging! Mini Sticks groups are created based on friend requests and age and typically includes 2-3 coaches per team providing an excellent coach:player ratio. Not to worry, if you don't have a friend request, you are sure to make friends at Mini Sticks! Feel free to email Kate@gatewayfieldhockey.com with any questions.
