Cincinnati's only adult coed club field hockey team, the Cincinnati Centurions officially launched in Spring 2004. Founded by a group of high school coaches, former players and hockey enthusiasts, the Centurions mesh the thrill of competition with the pure joy of the game.
Upon the success of the adult coed team, high-school and middle-school programs were subsequently launched the following year, broadening the Centurions empire.
The adult team currently participates in a winter indoor league and a summer/fall tri-state league, as well as other local and national tournaments.
