I. U14 Disney Field Hockey Outdoor Tournament (age as of Dec. 31st, 2021) - Jan. 28th-30th - TRIALS NOVEMBER 7th
We will be entering 7-aside travel teams into the Disney Field Hockey Tournament to be held Jan. 28-30 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports. This is always a club favorite and is a great atmosphere for our younger U14 players and if interest warrants a U12 team. This tournament is age dependent so if you turn 14 BEFORE 12/31/2021 you are unfortunately not eligible.
If you are selected for a team, we will have Disney training on Mondays at Good Sports on Mondays: 12/6, 12/13, 12/20, 12/27 (tentative), 1/3, 1/10, and 1/17 from 5:30-7:00 PM.
Disney Tournament fee, including JI Monday training will be $250 training + tournament fee (in past years it has been around $400). USAFH hasn't released the registration fees so final fee will be determined once all expenses are known and final roster size is determined.
If available, we would also like to enter selected Disney players into a winter 7-aside good sports league for extra game play training (that fee would be separate to Good Sports) that will last from early December to March. Registration would not be through JI as it's a Good Sports League, we would simply enter a JI team into their league so separate fees apply.
II. Club U14 "Indoor" Season TRIALS NOVEMBER 7th
This is a separate club season where we train indoors at Monroe Sports Center on Sundays and play in tournaments (Saturdays) between Dec-Feb months. The indoor game is played with different sticks and rules - 5 players and GK on the court (which is a little bigger than a basketball size court). Boards are placed along the sidelines so players play rebounds off the side. It is a very fast paced game that helps with player's stick work tremendously. You can 'you tube' indoor field hockey to see how it is played.
Training will take place on Sundays from 1-3 at the Monroe Sports Center.
U14 Indoor Training at Monroe Sports Center:
12/5 - 1-3 PM
12/12 - 1-3 PM
12/19 - 1-3 PM

JIFH is an elite, championship caliber travel club with a long history of success. Our club attends all the major United States Field Hockey Association (USFHA) National showcases and has helped numerous athletes attend the colleges of their choice (see our Alumni section). Intensity has garnered medals in every major tournament hosted by USAFH - to see the history of our championships click here - http://www.intensityfieldhockey.com.prod.sportngin.com/news_article/show/673184?referrer_id=2687941-news
The staff of Jersey Intensity is made up of passionate, elite level coaches with high school, collegiate and international experience. We pride ourselves in having a low coach/player ratio. Our head coaches have been with the club since its inception and travel hundreds of miles every week to coach at our weekend training sessions and tournaments. They are dedicated and committed to the improvement in every player's skill level and hockey IQ. We coach to prepare you for the higher levels of the college game. Goalies work with specialty goalkeeping coaches each session, in most cases having three GK coaches per session!
In addition to aiding athletes in achieving collegiate play, JIFH has had representation at all levels of our USA National squads, from the U17 National Squad up to the Senior National Squad.
Jersey Intensity also offers Academy training opportunities for those players wishing to improve their skills in a competitive but fun environment. This Academy is designed for young players first learning the game (U-12 and U-14) or for older players (U-16/U-19) who need more time developing and honing their skills before they are ready to move up to one of our championship level travel teams. It is also for the player who wants to train with our ELITE level coaching staff but who cannot commit to National tournaments. Tournament opportunities will be available throughout the year:
1. U-12 year-round training and tournament/league opportunities
2. U-14 year-round training and tournament/league opportunities
