Travel Team is for players who are serious about playing field hockey at a very competitive level and who may have the desire to play as a college athlete. They are able and willing to organize their schedules to make multiple practices during the winter, spring and summer. In the winter they are required to train 3 days per week, 2 days on hard court surface for the Indoor game and 1 day on filled turf surface for the Outdoor game. In the spring they train two days per week on filled turf for the outdoor game. And in the summer they train one day per week outdoor on filled turf. In addition to training they are expected to attend all the scheduled tournaments.
The Windy City Winter Select Program is the entry to the Travel Teams. Players already on Travel should sign up for Winter Travel and are reevaluated during that program. Players who wish to tryout for Travel should sign up for Winter Select. All players will be watched and evaluated by the coaching staff at every session. The Travel Teams will be announced in March during the week following the winter sessions.
Two U19 Teams
Two U16 Teams
Two U14 Teams
All teams have 15 field players and 1-2 goalkeepers
One or two U12 Teams will be announced but will not train multiple days of the week. The U12's that want to be considered for Travel should sign up for the Winter, Spring and Summer programs as Academy players. They will compete in Windy City League Play and will attend two tournaments.
