Field Hockey Forward Recruiting
College coaches evaluate every position differently. Here's what actually matters if you're a forward player building a recruiting profile, from the stats that carry weight to the film that gets watched.
What Coaches Look For at Forward
Forwards are evaluated on the ability to consistently get into the circle and convert chances. Coaches watch circle penetrations and shot accuracy on full-game film rather than isolated highlight goals, since consistent pressure matters more than a single standout play.
Stats That Matter Most
For forward recruits, coaches weigh goals, assists, shots on goal, and circle penetrations above raw totals alone. As always, the number that actually moves a coach's evaluation is the one they can trust, meaning stats verified by your travel or club coach carry far more weight than self-reported numbers on a resume.
