Keystone State Games High School Field Hockey Tournament
August 2 - 3, 2023 at Wyoming Seminary Sports Complex
Athletes and Coaches: You have been working so hard throughout the Spring and Summer months to prepare for the upcoming scholastic field hockey season and we want to provide you with the opportunity to put all of that hard work into action. This year, we are hosting a High School Field Hockey Tournament on August 2-3, 2023 at the Wyoming Seminary Sports Complex that is for School Based Teams Only – NO Club Teams.
After speaking with PIAA Officials, August 3 is the last day to host a team competition prior to the 10 day “cooling off period” rule. This takes you to the very end of your pre-season opportunities to work on your athlete’s fitness, skill work, and team strategy.
