Benefits by Member Group

“The NFHCA has had a profound effect on field hockey in the USA since its inception. Thousands of high school athletes have been recognized through athletic and academic awards. Coaches have been acknowledged for outstanding accomplishments. Their drills and resources have been helpful throughout the years.

I am so appreciative of the leadership of the NFHCA for all they have done to promote field hockey. I highly encourage field hockey coaches at all levels to become NFHCA members.”
