Vancouver Hawks Field Hockey Club, based in the vibrant city of Vancouver, is a field hockey club dedicated to promoting the sport and fostering a sense of community among players of all ages and skill levels. With a strong presence on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, the club keeps its members and followers informed about upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, junior and senior programs, and registration details.
The club offers a range of programs to cater to both junior and senior players, with the 2024 Junior Spring Season currently open for registration. This program, which is fun and engaging, is open to boys and girls aged U5 to U18. Participants are encouraged to register early to secure a spot in their respective age group. In order to register for any Hawks program, proof of registration with Field Hockey BC (FHBC) is required, and FHBC fees are valid from September 1 to August 31 of each year.
For those interested in umpiring, the club offers an Umpire Intake program for the 2024 season, aimed at providing information and support for those looking to take on umpiring roles. Additionally, Vancouver Hawks has established a partnership with Martin Fisher Tailors to support the Men's National Team, encouraging community engagement and offering custom-tailored suits at affordable prices.
The club's Schools Program has been a great success, thanks to the support of the Community Sport for All Initiative. By securing funding to hire quality coaches and access more schools, the program has been able to introduce field hockey to elementary school-aged children in Vancouver, removing barriers such as cost and transportation.
In order to simplify fee administration and ensure all members have valid insurance coverage, Vancouver Hawks players are required to register and pay fees directly with FHBC. This change helps to reduce errors and ensure a seamless registration process for all members.
Vancouver Hawks Field Hockey Club prides itself on its commitment to promoting the sport of field hockey and providing opportunities for players of all ages and skill levels to participate in a supportive and inclusive community. With a wide range of programs, volunteer opportunities, and events, the club continues to grow and thrive in the field hockey community in Vancouver.
