CLASSES OF 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029
The National Player Combine (NPC) is an event like no other. The focus is on athlete development coupled with objective and standardized assessments that measure for speed, strength, agility and skill execution in a high-level showcase camp environment on a world-class water-based surface. At the NPC, there are no “Club Politics” and no “Coaches’ Favorites”. Each athlete is objectively assessed utilizing electronic speed gates, jump mats, radar guns, the beep-test and numerous standardized skill stations.
The 3-day program includes physiological and field hockey skills assessments, small group play, and full field 11v11 play. The curriculum utilizes similar assessment and training methods as top Division 1 college programs and the USA Women’s National Team.
Upon completion of the event, athletes receive an online NPC Athlete Profile, which provides objective feedback and analytics on their personal performance throughout the NPC and how they matched up against other participating athletes and their specific class.
