ANTICIPATED PRACTICE & GAME SCHEDULE
Once registration is closed, we will be able to finalize the practice and game schedule. Similar to prior years, Grade K will have practice once per week. Grades 1-2 will have practice one day per week plus one game. Grades 3-8 will have practice twice a week plus one game. As soon as we have the schedule ready, it will be posted.
Grades 7-8 will have the opportunity to add approximately 10 games to the season through the Cape Ann League. In order to be considered for the Cape Ann League 7/8 grade team, players must be registered for the town program.
BOOTCAMP
Similar to prior years, we are putting together a program that will provide all players with an opportunity to get in shape, hone their skills, and have some fun before the season kicks off. In the past, we have done this the two weeks prior to the start of the season. Details coming soon.
VOLUNTEERS
We need volunteers for coaching and to administer the program. We are looking for Assistant Grade Group Directors! There are opportunities to update the website (content, calendar, etc.), equipment procurement, swag overseers, scheduler (practices, games, referees, bootcamp) and event planner (end of the year party, Play 4 Cure night).
Please email lynnfieldyouthfh@gmail.com if you are interested.
GAME PLAY EXPECTATIONS FOR GRADES 5-8
As coaches, our job in the Lynnfield Youth Field Hockey program is to build a love of the game and develop our players at all levels. To keep our program competitive with other leading programs, we want dedicated players. Game participation at the 5th to 8th grade levels will be based on attendance at practices, a positive attitude and respect for teammates and coaches and their performance at both practices and games. Players who do not attend every practice, who do not show up on time, do not try their hardest and do not show respect for coaches, officials, opponents and teammates may not get as much playing time as others that do. This mirrors what will be expected of our players at the high school level and serves to foster their dedication to the sport.
