7th/8th grades

Travel – Honey Badgers division

Playing in this age division is a great way to get more playing time than the middle school teams and to play against nearby towns in South Jersey. South Jersey Field Hockey league is a competitive travel league of 20 towns in the south Jersey area. It will really help to raise your player’s game by playing for a longer season than the middle schools. Plus, it is great to have the Cherry Hill girls play together in preparation for high school! Players will improve stick skills, learn field strategy, sportsmanship, teamwork. Players will be split by skill into an A and B division for skilled and new players.

Regular season games are played over 6 Sundays: 9/10, 9/17, 9/24, 10/1, 10/15, 10/22. There are 8 games played at the opponent’s field in South Jersey or home at Cherry Hill High School East. We play games on turf and grass, and will have at least one home game.

Practices start August 12th, potentially at Cherry Hill HS East, on Mondays and Thursdays 6-8:00 pm.

Playoffs are the weekend of 10/29 and 30 for the top 8 teams.

The registration fee for 7th/8th division is $190 per player. Payment can be made in three monthly installments or in full.

Equipment

Included in each registration is a new uniform (new reversible team jersey, skirt, and 2 pairs of socks) for games and practices.

All players will need shin guards, a mouthguard, and a stick. They will need cleats for playing on grass, and can wear sneakers or turf shoes for playing on turf.

Players should have their own stick to play. Girls this age will likely need a 35″- 37″ stick, which is based on player height. HerSport is recommended for helping pick the right stick for your player. The graphic below is also a good guideline:

Registration is held May – July for the fall season.
