1st-2nd Grade Rec League
Players entering 1st or 2nd grade in the Fall are eligible to register for this program.
Practices
Practices start in August and continue through October. Practices are once a week and run for 60 minutes. Players will focus on fundamental stick skills, basic positions, and team building exercises.
Equipment
Each player must provide an outdoor field hockey stick, shin guards, and a mouth guard. Players must bring a water bottle to all practices and games. Turf shoes are recommended.
Uniform
The team uniform includes a jersey, skort, and matching socks. The cost of the uniform is included in the registration fee.
Game Format
Players participate in Clinic Play Days on Saturday mornings starting the first Saturday after Labor Day. Play Days typically begin at 9:00 AM and end no later than noon. During Play Days, teams play 7v7 in scrimmages that typically run for about 20 minutes. Teams play 3 or 4 scrimmages with breaks between. Parents can expect ~6 Play Days per season. Some travel is required (45 minutes or less). We recommend each spectator brings a comfortable lawn chair as not all sites have bleachers. Bringing a healthy snack for your player between games is a good idea, too!
