Gateway Field Hockey

Welcome to GATEWAY FIELD HOCKEY. We are very proud of the many players who participate through our camps, leagues, National Festival teams, and for their respective school teams. We hope that in some small way we’ve helped players improve on their skills as they compete for their high school and college teams. Following are some GREAT MOMENTS in recent GATEWAY FIELD HOCKEY areas. Please take time to view the following and please check back from time-to-time for additional GATEWAY GREAT MOMENTS.

DID YOU KNOW?
TEAM GATEWAY FIELD HOCKEY has three teams “grandfathered” to participate in the National Hockey Festival, due to its support of the Festival through the years. We also participate in the lottery (which started in 2005) to field additional teams, and had two additional teams in 2005 and one additional team this year. We have four teams competing in the 2006 National Hockey Festival in Palm Springs, California.

Four (4) school sites which hosted GATEWAY CAMPS won their state or conference postseason tournaments. Congrats and looking forward to being with you again in our 2007 summer camp schedule.
