Chatham Field Hockey Club

Our Club

Chatham Field Hockey Club is a not-for-profit recreational youth sports organization serving the Chathams and Green Village New Jersey

Our Season

CFHC runs programs for players between 3rd and 8th grades of all levels of experience from beginners to advanced players. Our focus is on fun, friendships and field hockey (in that order!). Registrations are open in June. Our season begins after Labor Day and runs until late Oct/early Nov. Our 3rd grade program runs clinic style one day per week. Our 4th grade program practices once per week, our 5 to 8th program practices twice per week. 4th to 8th grade plays local games on Sundays as a member of the MJYFH league. The Club is open to all residents without regard to financial status.

Our Volunteers

Our program is made up entirely of volunteers. 100% of our registration fees are used to support the activities of the club (field, equipment, officials, etc). As a community based organization, we thrive on participation from our parents and friends. Please consider donating your time to help club. You don't need to know the sport, to help the organization!
