MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Youth Field Hockey Club this summer will offer a series of introductory camps to girls and boys entering grades 2 through 6, beginning with morning and afternoon sessions between June 24 and 27. All sessions will be held on Middlebury College’s Kohn Field behind Kenyon Arena.
A second series of camps that like the first will also focus on the basics of field hockey — dribbling, push-passing and hitting techniques as well as field positioning and small group play — will be held from July 23 to 26.
Registrants may choose from morning sessions that will run from 9 a.m. to noon or afternoon clinics from 3 to 6 p.m. Instruction will be offered by Middlebury College Coach Katharine DeLorenzo, current Middlebury Union High School Coach Chelsey Giuliani, former Tiger varsity coach Tracey Harrington, and MUHS varsity players. Participants are asked to bring sneakers, shin guards and a molded mouth guard.
The cost for the four-session camp offered through the Middlebury Parks and Recreation Department is $50 for Middlebury residents and $65 for non-residents. More information is available from Harrington at [email protected] or 388-2882.
