CHARLOTTE, N.C. - In an effort to empower, support, and connect female leaders in field hockey, USA Field Hockey is excited to announce the addition of a new Empowerment Coaching Session. Taking place on Wednesday, May 21 from 2:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. ET at the United States Performance Center in Charlotte, N.C., this expansive offering preludes the 2025 High Performance Summit.
USA Field Hockey recognizes the need for a supportive network and resources for women and girls at every level in the sport. The Empowerment Coaching Session is the start of what is envisioned to be a growing commitment to enhance women's roles in sports leadership as coaches and players.
The initial Empowerment Coaching Session will explore topics that uniquely affect women and girls in field hockey. Coaches will learn about the new global FIH Women in Hockey Empowerment Project that launched in November 2024. Attendees are encouraged to bring their thoughts, experiences and questions to help form this collective learning as an ongoing network.
Registration for the Empowerment Coaching Session is open to all coaches and is capped at 40 individuals. The cost is $75 per person.
The 2025 High Performance Summit follows on May 22 and 23, and promises two days of intensive training, networking and development opportunities for coaches nationwide. Following last year's remarkable progress and anticipation of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the focus has shifted toward preparing for the World Cup in 2026 and the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games. The Summit will also spotlight the latest strategies and skills being honed by the U.S. Women's National Team under the guidance of head coach David Passmore and his staff. With the Pan American Cup on the horizon at the end of July in Uruguay, the team is intensely focused on assembling a robust squad to compete at the highest levels and continue their successful rise in international competition.
