Our Field Hockey Program is designed to introduce young players to the sport of field hockey, with the opportunity to teach them the fundamentals and concepts of field hockey while having fun. We offer our programs to both Harwinton and Burlington residents in grades 3-6. Our primary season is in the fall, and runs for approximately 8-10 weeks. Off season, we also offer an indoor winter program for grades 3rd through 8th.
Our Program
The coach for the 3rd/4th and 5th/6th grade team is Rachel McFadden. Practices begin the first week of school for Region 10, on Wednesday September 2, 2019 at Lewis Mills High School. Practices will be every Wednesday from 5:30-7:00pm. As the days get shorter, we will end practice a little earlier.
The 3rd/4th grade typically have 3-4 games usually played on the weekend. The 5th/6th grade games are every Sunday at 2:30. There will be no games held Labor Day Weekend or Columbus Day Weekend. Schedules will be posted in August.
