The Garden City Athletic Association will once again offer a Field Hockey clinic for all girls in the 4th through 8th grades. The clinic will take place on Sunday afternoons from 4:00 PM until 5:30 PM on the High School turf field. The clinic will run from September 17th through October 22nd. As in the past, the clinic will be under the direction of the Garden City High School Varsity Field Hockey players. The cost is $35 and the application can be found at the GCAA website. Go to www.gc-aa.com and click on the Field Hockey link.

This year we have preordered a limited number of equipment "starter kits" which include a TK stick, mouth piece, shin guards and a ball. The cost for the kit will be $25. If you are interested in reserving one of the kits or if you have any questions about the clinic, contact Kathleen Mullins at 741-5906 or at kmullin2@optonline.net.

Junior Field

Hockey League

The Garden City Athletic Association invites girls in the 5th through 8th grade to participate in the Long Island Field Hockey Association (LIFHA) Junior Field Hockey League. The league is divided into a 5th & 6th grade division and a 7th & 8th grade division. Games are played on Sundays at either noon or 1:15 PM and will require some travel. Home games are played at the Garden City High School on the turf field. The season consists of five games and runs from September 24th through October 22nd.

Participation requires that players become members of the USFHA and pay a league fee to LIFHA. Total cost to participate is approximately $80. LIFHA will provide T-shirts, mouth guard and officials. As LIFHA is currently making schedules, we are asking that all player registrations be submitted no later than Wednesday September 13th. For more information about how to register with USFHA or about obtaining an application please contact Kathleen Mullins at 741-5906 or at kmullin2@optonline.net.
