Field Hockey (Girls)

Deerfield's field hockey program is about to enter its twentieth season. The tradition we've built is noteworthy. The varsity team has won the Western New England Prep School Field Hockey Association (WNEPSFHA) league championship six times, and has participated in the New England Prep School Tournament in all but 4 seasons.

At Deerfield we have a field hockey team for everyone. The level of play on the varsity squad would challenge the best high school player.  For players with less experience, Deerfield fields J.V. and reserve teams, teams which are noted for their fun-loving spirit as well as their success in interscholastic competition. The two teams finished their season this year with a combined record of 16-3-5.

Deerfield head coach Kristen Veiga will be entering her first season as head coach and her third season involved with the varsity program in the fall of 2011. She believes strongly in developing players who are dedicated to the sport and to one another and emphasizes the importance of working hard, playing fair, and having fun.Recent Deerfield alumnae have played for Amherst College, Boston College, Bowdoin College, Dartmouth College, and Harvard University. Countless other alumnae have gone on to play at the collegiate level throughout the years.

Deerfield Field Hockey is coached by Kristen Veiga and Katie Calhoun. Feel free to contact either coach for more information.
