As the Technical Director of Empower Field Hockey, I would like to invite you and your club U12, U14, U16 and U19 teams to our Empower Cup Tournament this spring: All our events will be hosted on Rullo Stadium’s 2 pitch water-based turf on the campus of the University of Delaware.

This tournament can just be an opportunity for your team(s) to compete or as another check-in moment as your club prepares for your JPOL involvement or countdown towards your Regional Club Championship.

Clubs who have participated in past Empower Cup tournaments have experienced a great day of hockey development and competition at an amazing home for field hockey. We look forward to welcoming you again, or for the first time.

Please see below for information on the Empower Cup Tournament: U12 & U14 age groups are invited to participate Saturday, May 20, and the U16 & U19 age groups on Sunday, May 21.

Any questions, please feel free to contact our Empower Event Administrator Susan Whitehead, who will oversee the coordination of the Empower Cup tournament and its communication with all visiting clubs. She can be contacted by email (susan@empowerfieldhockey.com) and phone (302-547-5571).

Susan may also reach out personally to touch base on your participation at this spring's Empower Cup Tournament, as well as our other future Empower Academy events, such as our Aug. 6 Coaching Clinic (10am-1pm) for Club, High School & Middle School coaches; our Aug. 6 Scoring & Goalkeeping Clinic (1:30-5:30pm) for players grades 6-12, as well as Delaware Field Hockey Camps for your players and team(s) this summer.

Enjoy your spring season and see you around.
