Field hockey in the United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Field hockey in the United States is a sport which has only limited popular support.[1][2] In the US the sport used to be female dominated as opposed to Europe's male dominant leagues.[3] However, in the United States of America, there are few field hockey clubs, most play taking place between high school or college sides, almost entirely of females. The strength of college field hockey reflects the impact of Title IX which mandated that colleges should fund men's and women's sports programmes comparably. Pennsylvania is a hotbed for field hockey in the United States.[4][5]
