*If you are new to field hockey, you are welcome to come to the first practice and try it out. If you like it, we can sign you up, and if not, no worries! We can also prorate the registration fee for those who cannot make the whole season. Please email us before registering to get a promo code - do not ask for a pro-rated refund after registeration as this impacts operation decisions.

Current USA Field Hockey Membership Required for All Players:

Due to insurance requirements, all players must be members of the USA Field Hockey Association in order to participate in practices and non-USFHA sponsored local tournaments. You must purchase your annual USFHA membership through us for $10 during registration. Memberships last for one year. Note: if your child will be participating in a regional tournament or an event sponsored by USFHA tournament, you will have to purchase a full USA Field Hockey Membership directly from the USFHA ($25 for U12 and $60 for U14-U19; please select "Golden Gate Rippers" as your club affiliation). We will let you know whether a tournament or event is sponsored by USFHA in advance.
