2026 Fall Season

🏑 The 2026 Newington Field Hockey season is officially underway!

As we move into the regular season, our focus continues to be on developing confident, hardworking, team-first student-athletes while building a positive and competitive program.

⚠️ Important: All scheduled team activities—including practices, games, meetings, scrimmages, and team events—are considered mandatory unless an absence or conflict has been communicated to and approved by the coaching staff.

Players are expected to arrive prepared, on time, and ready to participate. Consistent attendance, communication, effort, coachability, and a positive attitude are important parts of being a member of the Newington Field Hockey program.

Communication & Schedule Updates

📅 Practice and game schedules may change due to weather, field availability, transportation, CIAC adjustments, school-related events, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Any changes or important team information will be communicated to athletes and families as soon as possible through our regular team communication channels.

If an athlete has a conflict, illness, academic obligation, or other circumstance that may affect attendance, we ask that the athlete communicate directly with the coaching staff as early as possible.

Our Team Expectations

Being part of Newington Field Hockey is about more than simply showing up to practices and games. We ask every athlete to bring:

 
• Positivity — support your teammates and contribute to a healthy team environment.
 
• Pride — represent yourself, your teammates, and Newington High School well.
 
• Passion — compete, work hard, stay coachable, and continue to grow.
