Boys Wolves
Wolves is a High Performance and Skills Development program to improve the quality of boys field hockey on the North Shore. We guarantee an excellent level of coaching by making use of National players, as well as Provincial or National program coaches. Coaches provide a role model for athletes and the players are exposed to current international playing trends and styles.
The Wolves program is boys-only and designed to play a vital role in a player’s technical and tactical development. All training sessions are based on the Men's National Team core concepts and principles. These sessions will give players the skills and techniques to excel in Spring League, Men's League and FHBC Provincial programs, as well as an ideal opportunity to be identified into the Junior National program.
The program runs every Fall and every Winter at Rutledge Field
