A note about pricing & session fees
We are a not-for-profit organization and all Club Managers are volunteers. The first session you attend with us in a calendar year will cost $20, payable on the day of play. This one-time annual fee covers your membership for both the Summer and Fall season (i.e. if you joined and paid in the Summer, that payment covers you for the Fall as well). The membership fee helps us cover the costs of our insurance premium, field permits, permit application fees, and supplies (med kit, cones, etc.), and helps make hockey more affordable for everyone.
After your first session, each session you attend will cost $10, payable on the day of play.
How to pay
Members pay the Club Treasurer via Venmo or Paypal when they attend each session. All payment information will be included in each session registration email.
Note: As there are no refunds, we recommend waiting to pay until you are confirmed for a session. As of Fall 2021, we are prioritizing digital payment. Exceptions will be made on a case-by-case basis.
Weekly sessions
Registration for each session opens at 10am EST on the Wednesday before the session! We recommend setting a weekly reminder to check your email as spots go fast.
NYCFH caps sessions at 40 players to maximize everyone's ability to enjoy and participate across the two-hour sessions.
Miss the cut? We have a weekly waitlist, so be sure to email us when the waitlist opens to be notified when spots become available.
What to bring to each session
Bring your field hockey stick, sneakers or cleats/turf shoes (we recommend cleats/turf shoes as the turf can be slippery), shin guards (optional), mouthguard (highly recommended), sunscreen (seasonal), and water. For insurance purposes, we also require all members sign a waiver before their first session.
If you need to borrow a stick, just ask!
Note: Please let the manager(s) know ahead of time if you will need to borrow a stick - there is an option to request to borrow a stick in the registration form that is sent out the Wednesday prior to a session.
Cancellation policy
If you sign up for a session and are unable to attend, please notify the NYCFH Manager(s) on duty for that week’s session ASAP so they can promote players from the waitlist.
NOTE: If you cancel after 5pm EST on Saturday, you will be asked to pay the $10 session fee. Late cancellations after this deadline make it harder for us to promote members from the waitlist for Sunday, as many people have made alternative plans by then.
Where to join us
The summer season takes place on the rooftop turf at Pier 40 in Manhattan at W Houston Street & the West Side Highway.
In the fall, we play at Chelsea Waterside Park in Manhattan at W 23rd Street between 11th Ave & 12th Ave.
