The program is looking for players who will be in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades this coming Fall.

Registration for The 2009 Fall HOWARD STAMPEDE Field Hockey Season is now underway.  The number of teams will be dependent upon the number of qualified coaches at each grade level, so please consider volunteering your time.  Last year, there were four 3^rd/4^th Grade teams, ten 5^th/6^th Grade teams and ten 7^th/8^th Grade teams.  The league in which Stampede teams play has a rule that all teams must be balanced and best efforts will be made to accommodate that request. Teams will be formed using evaluation results from prior seasons with self-evaluations used for new players.  Consideration will be given to geographical area and special requests will be honored as best as possible.  Any 7th/8th Grade player this coming Fall who is interested in being on the Winter Tournament Team will need to attend a tryout. Based on the interested talent and their availability, a Stampede winter Tournament Team will subsequently be formed. Final selections for this 7th/8th grade winter Tournament Team will be made by the coaches; additional tbd expenses are involved. The dates for the 7th/8th Grade level Tournament Team will be emailed to you and posted on the REGISTER FOR FIELD HOCKEY page when confirmed.   

All registrants, regardless of age, are required to pay a $25 non-refundable registration fee to help cover pre-season expenses; program fees to be determined.  Refunds will be given if your child is not placed on a team.  It is the programs intent to place all of the registrants on a team, however the final determination will be based on the number of qualified coaches that the program has available at each level and field availability.  Players will be notified of their team placement via email by the beginning of June.  GO STAMPEDE!
