JUNIOR Fall Field Hockey Program
The Junior Fall Field Hockey Program is an instructional field hockey league with a low level of
competition and a strong focus on skill development with across the board participation. All
ability levels are welcome. We also hire an outside organization to come in and teach skills and
drills and incorporate this training into our regular practice nights.
If your child is sick, please have them stay home.
Mouth guards, Cleats, Shin Guards, Field Hockey Goggles are optional.
A limited number of loaner sticks are available; first come, first served basis.
As additional Fall information becomes available, it will be posted here.
Please NOTE: Boys who wish to play Field Hockey are permitted to by the league. Please contact
the Recreation Dept. with any questions.
A note from Coach Kathy regarding sticks:
In regards to stick size: with the toe of the stick on the ground, make sure it is straight.
Hold the stick with 2 fingers at the top of the handle
keeping it in place. The top of the stick should reach the hip bone, it can be slightly higher
or lower.
Another way is by height.
