The best way to get recruited for Division I field hockey today are attending tournaments. College coaches rarely go to high school games and follow high schools anymore. Today they go to tournament and recruit from the club teams. The popular tournaments that college coaches go to are college connections in PA, National Indoor Tournament in VA and the most popular is during Thanksgiving week is in Arizona called National Hockey Festival. This tournament has teams from all over the world come to compete. The majority of teams are from the U.S. but it has the best of the best teams. You can only participate if your team qualifies. This tournament is where all the college coaches go. They recruit and at the end of the tournament they will talk to you one on one about going to their school. Field Hockey recruits a little differently then other sports, but if you participate in these tournaments you are very likely to be getting noticed by a college coach.
