2008 FIELD HOCKEY PROGRAM INFORMATION
FACILITIES
NVA will use field space at both Lake Forest College and Lake Forest Country Day School for our field hockey program. Spring training instructional practices in May will be held at the College. We will than switch to Lake Forest Country Day School for league games in June & July.
DAYS AND TIMES
         Kids will meet an average of two times per week. Sometimes it may be a little less and sometimes a little more. Register your child for our leagues knowing that despite printing days and times of potential games and practices, we are sometimes "bumped" due to school events, or need to re-schedule due to bad weather. (Mondays and Fridays are used for rainout situations) NVA WILL NOT PLAY GAMES ON FRIDAY JULY 4TH. Start times for games rotate, so there is no set time for games. If a league is listed to play between 4:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M., you should be aware that a game or practice may be scheduled anytime between these hours for the day listed.
START & FINISH DATES
NVA Field Hockey will begin the week of May 12th and finish roughly around the third week of July. The exact finish date depends on the number of teams which fluctuates year-to-year. League levels for children 2nd grade and younger usually end a week earlier than older levels in mid-July. Older league levels, which play a post-season tournament or have all star game events usually run until the third week in July.

UNIFORMS
Kids may wear any practice clothing to the six preseason practices. Uniforms will be issued after the preseason practices when the team rosters and game schedules are released. All uniforms need to be returned at the end of the season.

REGISTRATION DUE DATES
Registration for Field Hockey are taken in the order received. Once a program levels reaches the maximum number of participants, it will be closed!
Early-bird discounts for a 5% savings are due March 15th, 2008 paid in full by check or valid credit card.
Some league levels may remain open for registration in to the first or second pre-season practice based on availability. As we approach the start of these programs, its always a good idea to check the NVA website for daily updates. We will list which programs are closed as well as post the number of available openings per league on a daily basis.
