Field Hockey – JV

The JV girls’ field hockey team is the developmental component of the field hockey program at Derryfield, providing the opportunity for new and inexperienced players to learn the fundamental skills and strategies of the game at an appropriate pace. While the JV team works independently and has it’s own game schedule, (usually back to back with the varsity games), so that players get ample time on the field and game experience, they also join the varsity practices regularly for drills and scrimmages to encourage competition and increase confidence. The entire program is built on teamwork, sportsmanship, commitment, perseverance, and leadership with everyone held to the same expectations. Our intention is for all players to make progress as individuals and contribute to the team’s improvement over the season, while at the same time developing a “love for the game”.
