TEAM ROSTER: A team roster form is required for all teams (below, page 5). The final roster form can be submitted on the first day of play.All participants must sign the attached waiver form and they also must be current members of the US Field Hockey Association (below, page 6).If a team roster and waiver form is not completed by the first day of play, the team will automatically forfeit all games until form has been completed.

USFHA MEMBERSHIP: Each player must be a current member of the U.S. Field Hockey Association (USFHA). Current USFHA members MUST SHOW CURRENT MEMBERSHIP CARD BEFORE PLAYING. If any player is currently not a member, he/she will need to sign up for a USFHA membership. A one–year membership to USFHA is $50. Please go to to sign up online.

SUBSTITUTES: Teams must provide5 players on the court for every game. It is the team’s responsibility to find substitutes if their team is going to be short players on any given week. A team must have at least3 players from their original roster for a game to be official. The remaining 2 players (including the goalie) may be a ‘substitute’.All substitutes must also be members of USFHA. If the team knows there will not be sufficient players beforehand the team captain must contact one of the league chairs so as to not receive the penalty.

OFFICIATING: Each team MUST provide TWO officials for the games that they are SITTING OUT. This will depend on the final schedule we develop after having the final team numbers. Last year, this resulted in umpiring 2 games/week.
