Player Rankings Update

With 2020 in the rearview mirror, we look forward to moving ahead with the next round of our Player Rankings!  Over the next couple of months, we will be accepting and seeking feedback for the Classes of 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025.  Following is the update and tentative plan broken down by class:

Class of 2021 (View Current Class of 2021 Player Rankings- Just updated College Commitments!)
*We plan to release our Final Top 150 players for the Class of 2021 by the end of the summer.  If there is some sort of USA Field Hockey Futures/Olympic Development event and national selections this summer, we will most likely hold off until those selections are published and then release our final list.
*We are now accepting feedback on players to be added to the list and for players already on the list who deserve to move up or down.

Class of 2022 (View Current Class of 2022 Player Rankings- Just updated College Commitments!)
*We plan to release an updated Top 150 players for the Class of 2022 by the end of the summer.  If there is some sort of USA Field Hockey Futures/Olympic Development event and national selections this summer, we will most likely hold off until those selections are published and then release our updated list.

*We will be expanding our 100 Players to Watch for the Class of 2023 to a full Top 150 players this spring.  At this time, we do not have an exact date we plan to release this by.  It will all depend on how long it takes to get the feedback we need.
*We are now accepting feedback on players to be added to the list and for players already on the list who deserve specific categories (Top 5/10, Top 50, Next 50, Watch List).

Class of 2024
*We will be releasing a Top 100 Players to Watch for the Class of 2024 this spring.  At this time, we do not have an exact date we plan to release this by. It will all depend on how long it takes to get the feedback we need.
*We are now accepting feedback on deserving players.

Class of 2025
*We are beginning to collect information on the Class of 2025, so that we can start building our watch list.  We are not sure exactly what type of list we may release and when, but we may potentially release some sort of a watch list some time this spring if we feel like we have good information and a good list to publish.
*We are now accepting feedback on deserving players.

Application Deadline: February 12th

The 2021 National Player Combine (NPC) is a brand new elite event designed to allow top field hockey players in the classes of 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 to demonstrate all aspects of their athleticism, skills, and talent on the field.  Individuals will be evaluated by class through 5 sessions that include physiology, field hockey skills, small group play, and full field 11v11 play. The NPC standardized testing and evaluation curriculum will be developed and implemented by the highest level individuals in the sport.  We are excited to announce Kyle McMinn, Director of Strength & Conditioning for the USA Field Hockey Women’s National Team, will be the NPC Physiology Director.  We look forward to announcing the NPC Field Hockey Director soon.

Upon completion of the combine, athletes will receive a a comprehensive player evaluation highlighting areas of strength and suggested improvements.  Athletes will also receive a highlight video of their personal play throughout the weekend (included in the fee!) and access to all additional video footage to download if desired.

This is an elite event.  There is an application process that will allow us to ensure the highest level of competition. Each session will be limited to 66 athletes per class, including a maximum of 6 goalkeepers. At the conclusion of each combine weekend, we will name the top third of athletes for each class based on their performance.

All NCAA Division 1, 2 and 3 college Head and Assistant Coaches will be invited and we anticipate a high level of college coach attendance.  View the list of registered colleges  here.
