Plays of the Week

The NFHCA Plays of the Week aims to spotlight and celebrate outstanding performance and plays at all levels of the game. Through video clip submissions during each fall field hockey season, the Plays of the Week highlight the best submitted clips from the prior week of play. A highlight of the top video clips submitted are shared on Tuesday evenings weekly via the NFHCA’s social media channels, beginning the first week of September and concluding in early to mid-November, annually.

All submissions are due by 6:00 p.m. ET on Mondays for the previous week’s games.  How to submit – Post on your public Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter (X) account using hashtag #NFHCAPlay and tag us @NFHCA. Private social accounts cannot be accessed – so make sure the account you are posting from is public!  Be sure to use the above hashtag and tag the NFHCA.  NFHCA members and sports information officers may also submit their Play of the Week video clips through the Dropbox link shared with members and Sports Information Directors in August annually.  Learn more here and email cate.clark@nfhca.org with questions.

Player of the Week Awards

Student-athletes are nominated each week of the field hockey season by their collegiate conference; each conference can nominate one student-athlete for Offensive Player of the Week and one student-athlete Defensive Player of the Week for their performance from Monday to Sunday of the previous week.
