Senior Nexus, presented by Osaka Hockey, is USA Field Hockey’s Olympic Development Pathway for collegiate and post collegiate athletes, designed to provide additional development to athletes interested in competing for Team USA. Senior Nexus is an evolution of USA Field Hockey’s former High Performance program and Young Women’s National Championship tournament. Programming is open to women who have aged out of Junior Nexus and those who are committed to their development, serious about improving their understanding of the game and working on individual and team skills and tactics. Whether a field player or goalkeeper, the concepts and principles presented in Senior Nexus will support all athletes to reach their goals of wearing the red, white and blue.
USA Field Hockey strives to make Senior Nexus and all programming accessible and inclusive to all. Financial aid/scholarships are available. To request financial aid, click here.
