Winter Club Season is Here!!! Indoor hard court and we're adding two outdoor options a week.
K-12 and adults!
We will be practicing, training, and playing in accordance with Chesterfield's and Henrico's Park and Rec depts', and the Governor's protocols.
What to expect! We are starting to play now! We will have 3 days a week of hockey opportunity including Futures style training, skills and concepts, game situation play, and intra-club competition.
We will have our usual indoor season (usual all things considered) at Shooters and Ozone and we are adding two outdoor options as well.
Why Indoor? Indoor training and game play hones your small technical skills and trains you in space awareness and critical thinking. Good indoor skills translate directly into better Outdoor play. I promise you that a college coach can watch a player on grass and quickly determine if she plays indoor and how well she plays, too.
Why Outdoor this winter? We love hockey and right now players and parents are at different levels of comfort re indoor; etc. We want our clubmates to have opportunities and options. Also, we want to be ready for tryouts and not rusty for the spring club season. We are adding outdoor because we can.
High schoolers, are you thinking college hockey? We can help with the recruitment process.

Looking forward to a great winter season. We strongly believe that strong principles of play, technical skills training, good sportsmanship, and hard work absolutely combine with a lot of fun doing it all to make a great Undertow Club community.
First off our mission: Everything we do is to help the players get better and reach their goals. The idea is that you will learn, train, and have a blast during these 4 months of hockey so that you can go back to your school team next fall and your club this spring and showcase your mad talents, technical hockey know-how, and add to your team's school experience and level of play.
Mistakes.... we demand that you continue to push yourself and make mistakes. We can help fix and mitgate mistakes and help teach you to recover. Make mistakes with us and showcase the results on your school and club team.
New players.... the coaches and more importantly all of the girls in the club welcome new teammates.
Plunket, Catherine, Hodan, Cape, Kelsey, Coach Heydan, Coach Meredith, Coach McNamara, and Coach Gill
