College Recruitment Rate

90%

of our graduating seniors are recruited to play college field hockey — at schools like Stanford, Dartmouth, Cornell, Brown, Johns Hopkins, and Middlebury.

The sport most Texas parents haven't heard of is sending local girls to the best schools in America.

Lonestar Field Hockey Club is Texas's pioneering field hockey club — training young athletes from age five in Austin, Dallas, and Fort Worth.

Our Mission

We are growing the game of field hockey in Texas — not quietly, not cautiously, but boldly, together.

Lonestar Field Hockey Club is building a joyful, inclusive community where young athletes pick up a stick for the first time at age five — and fall in love with a sport that shapes a lifetime.

01

Grow the game.

Our primary objective is participation growth. Everything we do should expand access, awareness, and opportunity for Texas families.

02

Joy before pressure.

We prioritize long-term love of the sport over short-term results. No burnout culture. No fear-based coaching. Ever.

03

The whole athlete.

We build confidence, resilience, leadership,and character — not just technical skill. Lifelong players need lifelong foundations.

OUR STORY

Four players. One field. And a love of the game.

Lonestar began in 2015 when Ali and Una Murdoch — an Irish couple new to Texas — held the first practice with just four players. All four went on to be recruited to NCAA programs.

A decade later we train 250+ players across three cities, with coaches from ten countries. But the first principle hasn't changed.

We play for the love of the game.

what families say

The Lonestar coaching staff, players, and parents have become like a second family to ours. My daughter's commitment to play at a D1 school would never have been possible without Lonestar and the passion of her coaches.

Our daughter has been playing with Lonestar since kindergarten. I still remember the smile on her face after her first session — and that smile hasn't faded. Lonestar has made her fierce, respectful, and kind.
