Indoor field hockey is a fast, fun-filled, and skill building game that is one of the fastest growing sports in the US. Indoor is played on a smooth-surfaced court about one and a half times the size of a basketball court.

Nomads offers indoor as a winter sport because we believe that playing indoor develops:

• individual 'on-the-ball' skills
• 'off-the-ball' skills
• 'small game' vision
• 'whole-game' strategy

Nomads promotes:

• competitive indoor field hockey at the National level
• opportunities for all levels of players
• development of younger players starting at U12
• local and National tournament participation
• individualized goalie coaching
• excellent coaching by college coaches, college players, and high school coaches
• the promotion of good sportsmanship

VARIOUS TEAMS FOR THE SEASON

Nomads will be offering two levels of play for this winter. Those players wishing to compete at a high level and start the route toward possibility of playing in college should join the National Travel Teams (NTT) at the U19, U16 or U14 level.  These teams offer quality coaching, and excellent competition.

Players who LOVE field hockey, want to develop their skills, and continue to play during the winter off-season should join our Local Travel Teams (LTT) at the U19, U16, U14, and U12 age groups. Our aim is to develop our youth with strong fundamentals and a love for the game! All players/ages are invited to join.

Boys are welcome to join at any age at the Local Level.

2010-2011 INDOOR RECAP

Our 2010 -11 season marked the growth in the sport of field hockey and indoor field hockey in the USA. For the first time the USFHA held a National Tournament which included a U14 age group.  Keeping with this year of growth the Nomads had a U14, two U16 and one U19 National team roster for the first time. An exciting addition to the Indoor season and the growth and exposure of our talented youth. 
Both U16 teams and our U19 teams participated in National qualifying tournaments in January. Our U 19 team was selected in the USFHA lottery and traveled to Richmound, VA in March to participate in the National Indoor Tournament! 
The Tournament was exciting and full of talented teams with college coaches from all over the United States, there to scout players.  It was an eye opening experience for our U19 teams who were participating in their first National Tournament.
