About Us

Delaware Field Hockey Association (DFHA), founded in 2020, is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization based in Middletown, Delaware, but our network spans all parts of Delaware. We have varying levels of play (fun and competitive) for adult men and women 18 and above. We also offer training clinics and 1:1 coaching for youth players in Delaware, ranging from middle school and high school players on occasion.

DFHA works to bring adult field hockey opportunities, such as pickup, leagues, tournaments, and club team travel tourism, to Delaware. We also partner with preexisting communities, companies, and clubs already in place throughout the state of Delaware, working to reintroduce players of all playing levels and nationalities or to introduce adults to hockey for the first time (especially our male players). We also invite graduating high school or college players to the world of adult hockey. We network and partner with other field hockey associations and clubs nationally and internationally to create or participate in unique playing offerings.

We strive to bring more opportunities for adult hockey to the state for men, women, and children. You can join or help support the association by donating or sponsoring our cause through our menu above.
