About Fall League
Overview
Motley (red) goes head to head with Chesapeake (blue) in BFHA Fall League play.
The Baltimore Field Hockey Association's fall league is our busiest and most structured season of the year, but that only adds to the fun! As with all of our seasons, all experience levels are invited and encouraged to participate. The fall league begins in late August and runs through mid-November, and offers players two levels of participation: Fall Clubs and Association play.
Fall Club Play
Fall Clubs is organized much like the other seasons, in that you play once a week. Club play is held every Saturday or Sunday on the turf fields at the Roland Park Country School in Baltimore.
The unique characteristic of the fall season is that the five teams keep the same rosters year after year. Therefore, each year new players are assigned by the Club Chairperson to one of the five teams, and will play with that same team every fall. Every time we play, each team plays the other four club teams, and at the end of the season a club championship tournament is held with rankings determined by each team's win-loss record throughout the season.
The five Fall Club teams are:
-
Chesapeake (blue)
-
Motley (red)
-
Tequila Sunrise (yellow)
- Weekenders (grey)
- Dragons (green)
2011 Fall League
2011 Fall League ran from September - early November. Due to conflicts with Roland Park's turf fields, the Fall 2011 Season was mostly on Saturdays rather than Sundays. In 2012, we should be back to Sundays.
Tequila Sunrise (yellow) defeated Chesapeake (blue) for the championship. Congratulations to Tequila!
Thanks to everyone that played and see you next year!
2011 Fall Champs Tequila Sunrise!

Fall Association Play

For those players interested in a more competitive playing environment, BFHA also offers Association play.
For Association play, BFHA typically has one or two teams that practice together and compete in tournaments throughout the MD, VA, PA, and DC region.
These tournaments are held throughout the fall on Saturdays and/or Sundays.
Please note that to be eligible for Association play, players must also participate in Club play.

SEFHA & BFHA
The Baltimore Field Hockey Association is part of a larger organization called the Southeast Field Hockey Association (SEFHA). SEFHA is currently comprised of three Associations: Baltimore Field Hockey Association (BFHA), Washington Field Hockey Association (WFHA), and Tidewater Field Hockey Association (Richmond, VA area).
SEFHA and BFHA were both formed around 1923 and are still going strong today, despite many changes over the years. SEFHA actually used to be recognized as the 'Southeast Section' of the United States Field Hockey Association (USFHA). This was when USFHA had a tiered system of dividing the United States into field hockey 'Sections'. USFHA has recently reorganized their national regions and they no longer recognize the 'sectional' areas. However, SEFHA and all of its Associations remain strong and committed to our goal of over 85 years - to promote field hockey within our region.
Every year, all of the SEFHA Associations combine forces and send a women's team to compete in the USFHA's annual National Hockey Festival in southern California.
Through BFHA, players can choose playing opportunities starting from club and progress through to association and then sectional levels. With these various opportunities, you are sure to find a level of fall field hockey that fits your interest and schedule.
