Mini Minutes Youth Field Hockey Program Hosted by UMass Field Hockey

Head Coach Barb Weinberg and the University of Massachusetts field hockey coaching staff and team will be hosting the first-ever annual Mini Minutes Youth Program in the spring of 2018.

Mini Minutes is a FREE fun and interactive program intended for youth ages 5-13 years (Kindergarten through 8th grade), and is designed to introduce girls and boys to the sport of Field Hockey and team play.

All sessions will be played at the Gladchuk Sports Complex at UMass (next to the football stadium). Participants are divided into groups based on their grade and experience level.

Each coach has about 8-10 kids to allow for more personal instruction and game play.
