Field Hockey is an equivalency sport for NCAA scholarship purposes, so partial scholarships can  be awarded to meet the limit per school.  For example, an NCAA Division I school can award 18 Field Hockey players each a 2/3 scholarship and not exceed the annual limit of 12 per team.  See our page on scholarship limits for more information.

*Average Athletic Scholarship is the average amount of athletically related student aid per athlete for ALL varsity sports sponsored by the specific school. Some athletes receive full awards, some receive partial and many receive none. Additionally some sports within a school may be fully funded, some partially and some sports provide no athletic scholarships.

Odds of a High School Field Hockey Player making a College Varsity Roster:
College Field Hockey Odds 2022:
Number of US High School Field Hockey Players 2021-2256,671
Number of College Field Hockey Players (see table below)6,630
% of US High School Field Hockey Players competing at any College Level10.2%
% of US High School Field Hockey Players Competing at NCAA I Schools2.5%
Odds of a US High School Field Hockey Player making any College Roster10:1
Odds of a US High School Field Hockey Player making an NCAA I Roster39:1

These are the odds of a random US high school field hockey player making a college roster – odds are adjusted for foreign student athlete participation. Actual odds are likely better for most athletes motivated to play in college due to several factors: High school participation includes multi-sport athletes who typically play only one sport in college, many high school athletes do not intend to compete at the college level, and unfortunately, a significant portion of high school students –  including athletes – do not go on to college.  See our page on the odds of competing in college for more information.

Do you have the skills to compete in College Field Hockey?

What level of athlete are coaches looking for and who are you competing with for a roster spot? A good way to get an idea is to look at the high-school bios of athletes currently on the roster of schools that interest you.
