Barker High School

In Barker High School, the players are in charge. Players build their own teams, name their teams, create their own jerseys, and manage their own playing time during games. While adult referees will be at the game, adult coaches will no longer be there. However, one adult per team must be present while a team plays.

This League is comprised of 16 teams with players in Grades 9 through 12. Players live in Hingham but are welcome to register whether they attend HHS or not.

Official team rosters must have a minimum of 8 PAID players in order to play and a maximum of 12 players. Not more than 50% of any roster can be made up of players on a Varsity High School team.  This rule does not apply to Freshmen or JV teams/players.

Each team also must have a designated Adult Contact who is at least 21 years old. This Contact is responsible for cascading communications; player conduct; and ensuring attendance by an adult at each game.
