High Performance Centers

  • Senior Nexus Training Sites (Formally Women's High Performance Centers)

    USA Field Hockey’s Senior Nexus Training Sites identify and train high level athletes through comprehensive training and skill enhancement sessions as well as premier level competition. Senior Nexus Training Sites allow athletes to train in regional areas close to their homes or schools by some of the country’s top coaches.  

    Trials are open to:

    • Enrolled collegiate athletes
    • Post-collegiate athletes
    • Athletes identified by USA Field Hockey

    Top female athletes will be selected to compete at the Senior Nexus Championship (Sr NXC), held annually in the summer. Selections are performance based to ensure the strongest athletes participate in the championship tournament. 

    The Senior Nexus Championship (Sr NXC) takes place annually in July at the Virginia Beach Training Center in Virginia Beach, Va. The top female athletes are selected based on performance at various Senior Nexus Training Sites which take place from late April – early June. Athletes at this event will work with USA Field Hockey coaching staff and compete in a premier event. The Senior Nexus Championship serves as a selection opportunity for the upcoming cycle of the U.S. U-21 Junior Women’s National Team and various development/WNT opportunities.
