IMPORTANT NOTE FOR CLUB AND ACADEMY TEAMS

We expect the highest level of commitment to these teams.  You are expected to be at every practice and every tournament unless a valid reason is communicated to the coaches ahead of time.  If you play a high school winter sport please consider if you are able to commit to both teams.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON INDOOR FIELD HOCKEY

Indoor field hockey is a different game than outdoor field hockey.  It requires a special set of skills, especially certain stick skills and body position.  If you have never played indoor before you will have to work at becoming a strong indoor player. Being a strong outdoor player does not necessarily mean you will be a strong indoor player.  Experience is important.

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS

  • Indoor Stick: if you are hesitant to buy an indoor stick before you tryout, then you can tryout with an outdoor stick
  • Mouthguard
  • Shin guards
  • Indoor Gloves
  • Corner Mask
