ABOUT WOMEN'S COLLEGE FIELD HOCKEY RECRUITING
Women’s college field hockey gives student-athletes the opportunity to compete at a high level while pursuing a university education. With more than 64,000 high school field hockey players in the U.S. and only a small percentage going on to compete in college, the recruiting process can be highly competitive.
College coaches are looking for more than just talented players. They want student-athletes who demonstrate strong athletic ability, academic commitment, work ethic, character, and the potential to contribute to their program.
To maximize your exposure to college coaches, it’s important to build a strong online recruiting presence. A complete recruiting profile allows coaches to quickly evaluate you as a prospective student-athlete by providing the information they need in one place—including recruiting video, athletic achievements and statistics, academic information, graduation year, and contact details.
The earlier you establish your recruiting profile and begin building exposure, the more opportunities you have to get on coaches’ radars and identify programs that could be the right fit.
