Outdoor Practice Times
Here are the "regular" outdoor practice times and fields that we will be using for the rest of the season. I'll also post directions for the fields in the "Fields" section of the website. Future weather related cancellations for practices and games will be posted here. If coaches need to make changes to scheduled practices, they will send you an email:

Equipment needs for both boys and girls: Girls need a stick, googles, cleats and a mouthguard. Mouthguards cannot be white or clear. Boys need a stick, helmet, shoulder pads, arm pads, gloves, cup, cleats and a mouthguard. Many of the retailers on our "Links" page offer packages for both boys and girls.
It was decided at a meeting of the youth coaches recently that Boys grades 3-6 will not be allowed to use long poles this season. If you currently have a stick that measures more than 42" in total length (butt end to top of head), please cut it down to between 40-42". This does NOT apply to the 7/8 boys team.
Do you have used equipment cluttering up the garage or attic? Why not donate it to Back Bay? We will use the equipment to help outfit kids who can't afford to buy and as back-up for games and practices. Please email us and we will make sure that the equipment gets to the right kids.
