The cost to participate is $325. If you are registering two or more athletes from the same household, enter SIBLING at check out for $50 off the total order.  New this year, everyone has to be a member of USA field hockey to participate in any Live Oak event.   Become a member of USA Field Hockey here.

Basic Skills Power Hour - Wednesdays or Tuesdays

Join us for two different 4-week sessions where we will spend one hour focusing on perfecting our individual skills.  This time is for any athlete that wants to learn how to play or any athlete who knows how to play and wants to improve her:  Ball carrying skills, elimination skills, hitting/pushing/sweeping, shots on goal, vision around the ball, defensive skills and 1 v 1 skills.

No scrimmaging or small games with this session, it is one hour of basics, basics, basics until we get them right and feel incredibly confident executing the skills!  There will be a strong emphasis on proper technique, speed of execution and taking risks with new skills.  Girls should come prepared to work hard and do lots of repetitions of the same skill.  

Open to all skill levels and ages.  You will not be competing against each other, so a very advanced athlete and beginner can work side by side. All practices are at TOCA East Novi (Grand River and Meadowbrook).

Wednesdays from 4:00-5:00.  Jan 21, 28, Feb 4 and11

Tuesdays from 4:00-5:00.  Feb 24, Mar 3, 10 and 17

Girls are encouraged to come early and warm-up on their own.  We will have a very abbreviated warm up.  Cost is $96.
