From grass roots to high performance, Field Hockey Canada is working to develop and strengthen field hockey across the country. Approximately 18,000 field hockey players across the country dedicate themselves to the sport at all levels, from community hockey to high performance.
We Stick Together
Stick Together is a project funded through the Government of Canada’s Community Sport for All Initiative (CSAI). Its purpose is to remove barriers and increase participation rates for underserved groups, as defined by the Government of Canada: Indigenous peoples, Black, 2SLGBTQQIA+, Low income, Newcomers, Racialized or Persons with a Disability.
The Government of Canada’s continued support to FHC’s work in this area enables field hockey communities across Canada to Stick Together and build on the work started last year in offering sport to underserved groups.
Field Hockey Canada leads the governance and delivery of Stick Together. In addition to development of the legacy tool and leading direct delivery in targeted communities across Canada, Field Hockey Canada is opening applications for local projects which meet the criteria, to apply and be part of this project. If your club, school, or hockey community is serving underserved communities and meets the criteria, Field Hockey Canada encourages you to apply. An independent panel will lead funding allocations and strict reporting requirements are in place.
STICK TOGETHER SKILLS CHALLENGE
The Stick Together Skills Challenge is a video series encouraging people across Canada to pick up a stick and try some skills. Most of these skills are demonstrated by national team athletes, coaches, and other community members and can be completed in your home, a driveway, out on the street or, of course, on a field hockey pitch. Grab a stick and follow along! Complete all the videos and download your Field Hockey Canada Stick Together certificate.
