Why SEAtoSKY FHC?

We are an established field hockey club located on the North Shore of Vancouver serving members across the lower mainland through to Whistler. Our focus is to provide a club environment for members passionate about the sport of field hockey who are committed to playing at their highest level, wanting to compete year round and be a part of a social community that has fun both on and off the field. Founded on a core set of values, our philosophy is built on 3 key pillars: skills development, social environment, and competitive and enjoyable play.

Skills Development

SEAtoSKY FHC offers continuous training programs led by senior qualified coaches with international experience who apply international standards and skills-development techniques. Understanding that field hockey is a team sport, training focuses on both individual and team skills development that promote growth in technical and tactical execution as well as an overall understanding of the game.

We also believe that to teach proper field hockey, time on the field is important. As a result, we offer a minimum of 3 hours of training per week.

Social Environment

We believe a key part of enjoying any sport is the social interactions that take place both on and off the field. At SEAtoSKY FHC, we offer a club environment that encourages players, coaches and families to be involved long after the final whistle blows. We provide the opportunity to meet new people who share a passion.

By building a culture of “team first” and fostering a supportive environment where individuals become the best they can through the power of teamwork, we create life long friends and enjoyment of the sport of field hockey.

Competitive & Enjoyable Play

We believe applying skills in a competitive game setting while having fun is an important part of playing field hockey at the highest level. As a result, we play year round with teams competing in the local leagues with other Lower Mainland teams and in provincial tournaments.

We also create more than just an on-field experience by providing opportunities to travel internationally to compete and socialize with clubs similar to ours.

Our Expectations

We expect respect for our coaches and fellow players at all times. At SEAtoSKY FHC we are creating a positive learning environment.

Hard work and determination comes from the athletes. Put 100% Effort in and you’ll get 100% of the results.

Accountability means athletes take responsibility for their own actions; being on time, wearing the correct kit, and arriving with a good attitude.

An attendance of a minimum of 75% is expected for all trainings and games. We welcome multi-sport athletes and in order to maintain this ratio of attendance, we require alternating weekly with other programs if there is a clash.

Communication is key. If a player is not able to attend a game of a training session they must let the coach know. This is to help keep a record and also encourage accountability.

Punctuality for training and games is a form of respect for the coach and the team and accountability for the player.

Our Player Plan

Player Development

The individual growth and development of each player is crucial for the success of the club. We carefully consider factors like skill levels, game understanding, and team dynamics when making team placements, ensuring that players are in the best environment to flourish. Players will develop at different rates and we carefully consider this development.

Club Growth

A strong and competitive club benefits all our players. We make decisions that strengthen our teams collectively, creating a supportive ecosystem for every athlete.
