Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Where do games take place?
Either at Berkeley (Maxwell Field, near the Cal Bears Stadium) or at Stanford. Full league schedule is posted at bafha.org
How often do you practice?
Rarely. Unfortunately it’s very hard for all teams in the Bay Area to get pitch bookings. When we practice, Marin typically tag onto when one of the other teams has a field booking. Said another way, there’s not a regular schedule outside of the league season, which runs from mid-March to late August.
Do I have to have played before/recently?
Sure, it helps but it’s NOT essential. If you’ve not played in years – don’t worry. You will remember far more, far more quickly than you imagined. You will be just fine. And if you’ve never played before but fancy giving it a go, we will find a way to get you some practice time before throwing you into a proper game.
How much does it cost?
Subscriptions for a full season are in the range of $120-$140, depending on the amount we have to pay the league for field rental.
Who are your players?
A varied mix of Brits, French, Irish, Germans, you name it. And yes, we even have an American or three J
Do you have to live in Marin to play for Marin F.H.C.?
No! You can live wherever you want and still play for us.
Are there tournaments to play in?
There are several thru’ the year, but they are all optional and by no means essential, it’s up to the individual.
Do you have to wear a skirt/Is it only a game for girls?
No to both of these!
