Volunteers

Our entire program runs on volunteers!  We need coaches and assistant coaches for all levels for the Fall 2024 field hockey season. This is a great and fun way to support our Girls at DAA!  Contact Carla McConnaughhay at fieldhockey@daagators.org for additional information.

If you have never played or coached field hockey, you’re not alone!  We pair novice and experienced coaches together, and there will be a coaches clinic before practices begins.

 

Please take the time to review the information available on this site. If you cannot find the answer to your question, email the commissioner.
