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!). Registration opens in June and closes in late August. Our season begins after Labor Day and run until late Oct/early Nov. Our 3/4 program runs clinic style one day per week. Our 5 to 8th program practices twice per week and plays local games on Sundays. 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!

Field Hockey Equipment

Field Hockey Stick

All players will need a regulation field hockey stick.

Tip for new players... don't purchase an expensive new stick. Look to borrow one, find one used or purchase a less expensive beginner package. A good resource to learn about Field Hockey Sticks can be found on the Longstreth Web Site
