Winter Season

Winter Play is available for all K5 - U19 grade girls.

Each LIFT FH season includes field hockey practice, leadership training, competitive opportunities where available, a LIFT shirt and a community volunteer activity.

* NEW for LIFT Winter Season 2022 - 2023 *

After 8 years of indoor hockey, LIFT will shift focus to outdoor field hockey all year round!

We will play indoors in the winter, of course, but instead of playing indoor field hockey rules,

we will encourage and coach all girls to work to improve her outdoor field hockey skills and game play

during the Winter Season. We will prepare for competitive opportunities throughout the year and

continue to improve outdoor skills all winter long for players who want to grow their skills all year long.
