About the Team | Birmingham United Field Hockey

"I never imagined those 57 fresh faces at our first practice would become the girls I'll always know as our first team."

Birmingham United field hockey is the top of a pathway that starts in the youth program and ends in a varsity letter, all under one coaching staff and one set of standards.

We field both JV and varsity teams with players from Seaholm and Groves. New players are welcome, competitors are pushed, and every player is part of something this city has never had until now.

Meet the Coaches

Celebration

End-of-Season Banquet

Our first season closed with an End-of-Season Banquet on October 19, 2025, at Birmingham Country Club. 125 players, families, and coaches celebrated together under a black and gold balloon arch.

The night brought dinner, JV and Varsity recognition, our Scholar Athletes, and a heartfelt senior send-off, where a teammate spoke about each senior before presenting her gift. The coaches shared their reflections on the season, and the evening closed with desserts and photos. Families told us it was the most organized and memorable high school sports banquet they had been to.
