Teams
Lowell Youth Field Hockey is a member program in the Baystate Youth Field Hockey league . The league consists of 4 divisions based on school grade: Grades 1/2, Grades 3/4, Grades 5/6 and Grades 7/8. Fall 2026 will be our inaugural season playing in the league.
We anticipate having at least 1 team at each division in Fall 2026, although we can enter multiple teams per division if we have enough players and coaches to allow for that.
LYFH welcomes new players at every division, and will work with each player to help develop their skills as appropriate.
