Field Hockey Registration
ABOUT THE FIELD HOCKEY SUMMER LEAGUE
This summer we will be holding our fifth HS Summer Scrimmage Field Hockey League in Fairfield County which will incorporate teams from several different conferences with an aim to prepare and improve game fitness throughout the summer season.
Games will be used to help players gel with one another, practice new tactics or game play, improve your all round fitness and play against other teams you might not normally have the chance to compete against in the fall HS season.
The league will run over an 8 week season, starting in June and running through till August. All games will be 30 minute halves with a very quick half time and if interest is high, there will likely be a ‘night game’ under the floodlights.
At each game we will have a site coordinator, fully qualified and experienced referees along with a qualified Athletic Trainer to deal with taping and any injuries / first aid requirements.
Each team needs to consist of a minimum of 18 players to have a qualifying team.

Game Schedule
Our game schedule will be released and sent out to everyone at some point during the week before the start of the league – week beginning 6/16. Please be patient with us as we prepare the schedule. We want to ensure that only one schedule is sent to avoid confusion, and we have to ensure all teams are compliant with numbers to ensure games are played on a weekly basis.
Please note that the color next to your school is the color of jersey that should be worn at each game. Any jersey can be worn as long as it is of the specific color listed.
** Due to the proximity of HS pre season camps and facility availability, there will not be any make up time for any games missed due to bad weather. All games must start at the allocated start time, so if there is a break due to weather we will decide upon the next game time if that game will recommence or finish on that interruption. We are sorry for any potential inconveniences caused. Thank for your understanding **
