Winter Skills Clinic

2025-26 Winter Skills Clinic

Rippers offers high performance skills clinics during the hockey “off season” for players that want to improve and ramp up their individual hockey skills. These are intense sessions that focus on honing advanced stick skills, form and hitting technique. The number of player registrations will be limited to keep the player-to-coach ratio optimal for individual instruction.

*Dedicated goalie skills instruction with our awesome international goalie coach Conor Mangat is available - please email before registering!

Current USA Field Hockey Membership Required for All Players:

All players must be members of the USA Field Hockey Association in order to participate in practices and non-USFHA sponsored local tournaments. You may either purchase a USA Field Hockey Membership directly from the USFHA (select "Golden Gate Rippers" as your club affiliation). Or you may purchase your annual USFHA membership through Rippers for $10 during registration through the USFHA club support program. Memberships last for one year. 

Required Equipment

• ALL players MUST have a mouthguard AND shin guards – field hockey shin guards are recommended (soccer ones acceptable for younger players) or they will NOT be allowed to participate
• Field hockey loaner sticks and balls will be available for use, but we recommend players have their own stick
• Goalie equipment is available to use for interested players
• Running shoes, turf shoes or cleats are acceptable footwear, though turf shoes are the best (note some tournaments do not allow cleats due to their type of turf)
