Teams
We are in the process of submitting our application to join the Baystate Youth Field Hockey league in Fall 2026. The league consists of 4 divisions based on school grade.
We anticipate having at least 1 team at each division in the first season, although we can enter multiple teams per division if we have enough players and coaches to allow for that.
Please note that we welcome new players at every division, and will work with each player to help develop their skills as appropriate.
