CALGARY JUNIOR FIELD HOCKEY PROGRAMS SPRING 2025

Welcome to Calgary Junior Field Hockey (CJFH)! We’re excited to offer a range of field hockey programs for young athletes in Spring and Summer 2025. Whether your child is just starting out or is ready to take their skills to the next level, we have something for everyone. Our programs focus on fun, skill development, and fostering a lifelong love of sport!

OUR PHILOSOPHY

At CJFH, we believe in creating a positive, athlete-centered experience where kids can grow both on and off the field. We align our programs with Field Hockey Canada’s Long Term Athlete Development framework and Coach Association of Canada (CAC) guidelines, ensuring that all physical and developmental needs are met for each child.

Our aim is to help kids build confidence, make lasting friendships, and enjoy the game of field hockey in a supportive and engaging environment.

OUR PARTICIPANTS

You are welcome here! Our programs are designed for children of all experience levels. Whether it’s their first time participating in a team sport, they’re looking to complement another activity, or they’re already familiar with field hockey, we are here to support your child’s growth.

Programs are divided by age groups:

U8 - born January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2018
U10 - born January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2016

Athletes born in 2019 with previous experience will be considered on a case by case basis. U12, U14 and U16 programs are delivered by our clubs. See “Club Programs 2025"

OUR COACHES

The safety and well-being of your child is our top priority. Our coaches are thoroughly screened and have completed athlete-specific training, including Ethics, Concussion Awareness, and CAC Safesport certifications. We adhere to the Rule of Two and maintain small athlete-to-coach ratios to ensure personalized attention and a safe environment.
