On Friday, December 4th, you will have the chance to showcase your skills to American coaches! It will be an exciting day filled with training sessions, clinics, and matches. American college coaches are coming to the Netherlands specifically for the Slamstox Field Hockey Showcase to scout and meet new players for their teams.

Check out the aftermovie here!
