Vancouver Hawks Junior Programs are part of the Vancouver Hawks Field Hockey Club, which was founded in 1895 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The club operates junior programs for U5–U18 throughout the year and states that its purpose is to develop and maintain opportunities for lifelong involvement in field hockey for residents of Vancouver. The club notes that it seeks to align its programs with Canadian Sport for Life principles and adheres to the True Sport Principles. Athletes 14 and under are encouraged to maintain participation in multiple sports, and competitive and advanced skill opportunities are available through Hawks junior programs, Field Hockey BC programs, and integration of junior-age players into senior teams at approximately age 14. The Junior Spring Season is described as the heart of the Hawks’ field hockey community and a flagship program, and it is primarily focused on social connections, skill development, and fun.
Hawks coaches run each Junior Fall session with a maximum ratio of 1 coach per 15 players, with a qualified head coach leading practices. The Junior Fall Season includes entry into a Fall Junior League with other clubs, and games are structured by age group field size with 60-minute durations on quarter-field, half-field, or full-field. The Hawks Junior Spring Academy is aimed at U14, U16, and U18 players and focuses on performance development topics including nutrition, hydration, and mental preparedness. There is also a Hawks FH – Umpire Intake Spring 2026 program for ages 12 to 18 to join the umpiring team with mentoring support.
