Field Hockey for Elementary-aged players in San Diego is very new. Coastal Clash is excited to be offering more opportunities for youth field hockey athletes in 2018 than ever before. We offer training all Spring for players as young as 5 years old, which includes many fun games and learning opportunities. If you want to play more hockey, opportunities are limited. Most tournaments do not have age divisions for players 10 and younger.
Players of all ages can play in The California Cup Tournament, and we recommend all players consider the opportunity to play! Older elementary-aged players can participate in the local tournaments, but must play in the U14 Division because younger age divisions aren’t offered.
