Field Hockey is a fast-moving game!

Picture
  • Since the outdoor game is played on a field slightly larger than a football field, your ability to sprint and get up & down the field is paramount;
  • Umpires in San Diego must be at least 18 years of age;
  • SDFHOA umpires work high school & middle school games;
  • Currently, SDFHOA games use NFHS rules;
  • The high school season runs from August through November, with preseason training starting in early June;​
  • SDFHOA membership dues for Fall 2021 will be $65
