USA Field Hockey

What USA Field Hockey does

USA Field Hockey is the USOPC-recognized national governing body for field hockey in the United States, operating as a 501(c)-style non-profit headquartered in Colorado Springs with 11–50 employees and more than 30,000 members. Founded in its current form in 1993 through the merger of the women's USFHA (1922) and men's FHAA (1928), the organization governs all facets of the sport domestically — sanctioning events, certifying coaches and umpires, operating development pathways from youth through the Olympic level, and managing the U.S. Men's and Women's National Teams.

The organization's core platform is the membership program delivered through Sport80, which handles athlete, coach, and umpire registration and renewal. On top of this membership backbone, USA Field Hockey operates a portfolio of interconnected programs: the Nexus talent identification and development system; competitive properties including the National Club Championship, Regional Club Championships across 11 regions, National Hockey Festival, and AAU Junior Olympic Games; Coach and Umpire Education certification programs; the Junior High Performance pathway (U-16, U-18, U-21); grassroots initiatives such as ADM Clinics, GAME ON, Walking Hockey, Starter Packages, and the Scouts Program; and recognition vehicles including the Hall of Fame and Annual Awards. The In The Circle mobile app delivers member-exclusive benefits, including an Osaka Hockey discount.

Revenue is generated across five streams: recurring membership dues, transaction-based event registration fees, a multi-tier sponsorship program (Premier Partners Capelli Sport, MarketWise, Osaka Hockey, and United States Performance Center, plus Core and Minor tier partners), donations and foundation funding through the USA Field Hockey Foundation, and coach education/certification fees. Event entry fees are publicly disclosed in limited cases (e.g., Regional Club Championship entry at $1,850–$2,000 per team depending on age division), while most pricing is not publicly disclosed. The US Performance Center at UNC Charlotte serves as the high-performance training hub for both national teams, and the organization is positioned for an LA28 Olympic window following December 2025 qualification announcements.
