Where tomorrow’s stars are made: U-16 National Indoor Tournament underway

The National Indoor Tournament is underway at Spooky Nook.

Indoor fans have gathered in Lancaster, Pennsylvania for USA Field Hockey’s annual U-16 National Indoor Tournament.

The game is a smaller, faster played game on a court that allows athletes to move the ball quickly on a smooth surface.

There are 180 teams from across the United States competing at Spooky Nook in the U-16 age category over the weekend.

Club rankings don’t change with tournament results, but competing athletes can be scouted by college coaches or for USA Field Hockey elite opportunities.

The fast-paced six‑a‑side indoor format boosts the sport’s visibility and improves athletes’ skills.

Indoor is generally played internationally in the winter. It is not a Winter Olympic-sanctioned sport.
