News and Announcements

Mark your calendars for Monday, February 13 at 7:00 am. If you’re new to our league you can set up your profile to get ready for registration. If you are put on a waitlist, don’t be discouraged, this just allows us to re-evaluate if we have enough coaches and turf time to open more spaces up. We are usually able to accommodate everyone but our Kindies and U8/U10 Girls age groups fill up the fastest.

SPECIAL REQUESTS
We recommend participants register in their correct age groups and for the older age groups, participants need to be able to commit to the weekly practice session as well as the games. We know there are schedule conflicts, sibling requests and other special circumstances so if that is the case we will do our best to make it work. If this requires registering your child in a different age group or division, we need to know this before you register. Please e-mail Heidi at: victoriajuniorfieldhockey@gmail.com

QUESTIONS
Our administrator e-mail advertised on our website is down (we are working on it) so we have a temporary e-mail set up for any registration or general information questions:
