In the regular season, ties are valid. In the Madison playoff games, there will be
overtime. Per the league bylaws:
- In the event of a tie score at the end of regulation, a 10-minute sudden-victory
overtime shall be played, 7v7.
- If the game remains tied after the 10-minute overtime the game shall be decided
by a 5-player stroke-off.
- If it still remains a single player stroke-off will decide the game.
Regular Season Games conclude on 10/27 for both Grades 5/6 and Grades
7/8 Teams.
Practice Sessions for Grades 5 & 6 concluded on 10/24.
There is a final practice session for Grades 7/8 on Monday, 10/28.
(No practice on Halloween.)

the schedule. (Please note: The times for the games will be added as available.)
*Parents provide own transportation.
Equipment Needed: Mouth Guards, Cleats/sneakers, shin guards, Field
Hockey Goggles are Optional, Field Hockey Stick (note: a SMALL number of loaner sticks
are available on a first come; first-served basis).
Uniforms Required
(We are using the same uniforms, so if you have one from last year,
and it still fits--please use that one).
Goalie Equipment is provided and is to be kept in field storage room.
All UNIFORM components will be available to order on Community Pass
soon.
Uniforms MUST be ordered by 8/30.
If you have a uniform from a prior year and it still fits, you can
wear that. This year's uniform will be very similar. We are going to start
lettering future uniforms with "Watchung Hills Field Hockey" instead of
"Long Hill Field Hockey". As you will learn, in Field Hockey, it's all
about the socks (white for HOME games, and black for AWAY). The Watchung Hills Field
Hockey lettering on the uniforms will look very similar to the Long Hill lettering, and
it probably won't be that noticeable.
Cleaning out a garage or basement? If you come across any Field
Hockey sticks that you are no longer using, we are always looking to replenish our
supply of loaner sticks for our program. They can always be left with the Recreation
Dept. at Town Hall. Thank you!
