From Executive Director Andrea Thebarge

Hello everyone and thank you for your interest in Maine Rapids. We are a competitive club whose focus is developing young players and providing an opportunity for individual growth in the sport. We have an incredible staff, with tremendous experience, who are knowledgeable and passionate about each player's success. We understand what it takes to compete at a high level, and we are committed to providing a unique experience that consists of both structure and fun.

We are looking for committed players who are interested in putting in the time that is required to take their game to the next level. Please make sure that the schedule works for your family before you commit to the program. Due to many different factors, rosters will be limited to a size that ensures each athlete receives enough individual attention to help improve their game.

Each age group will consist of competitive practices with the focus on skill development and team tactics. Team selection will occur based on performance at practices. There is a practice only option as well.

Session fees may be paid in full upon team acceptance, or in two installments. Travel expenses are the responsibility of the player and are in addition to the session fees.

** Athletes will need to register and tryout during the time slot for their age group. It is possible for an athlete to be invited to move up into an older age group, but this will not happen per the request of the athlete or parent. This will happen on a rare occasion as the intent is to provide the strongest competitive teams at each age group. 

We are looking forward to a great winter of Maine Rapids field hockey and on behalf of the coaching staff and board of directors, we look forward to welcoming you to tryout.

-Andrea Thebarge, Maine Rapids Executive Director
