Empowering Athletes
on and off the field
Middle school is a time of big growth—on the field, with friends, and in life. Our programs are built to support that.
At Beyond Sticks, we help athletes build confidence, skills, and leadership through fun, fast-paced field hockey and weekly Play Beyond the Game lessons. From handling pressure to being a great teammate, we teach what matters both in the game and beyond it.
Whether your athlete is newer to the sport or ready for more challenge, we meet them where they are—with great coaching, positive energy, and a team they’ll love being part of.
