There’s nothing better than sports in the summer sun in the Wildwoods! This year, Morey’s Piers brings beach hockey and beach lacrosse to the Wildwoods’ award-winning, white sand beaches.
Morey’s Piers will host the Sticks in the Sand Beach Hockey Tournament and the Sand Slam Beach Lacrosse Tournament on the Wildwood Beach between Schellenger and Juniper avenues Saturday, July 21 and Sunday, July 22.
Beach Hockey games will be 5v5, with four players on the field plus a goalie, with a maximum of 10 players per team. Games are 25 minutes each with a running clock. Fields are 30 yards by 50 yards. Each team will play a minimum of five games (weather and unforeseen conditions permitting). Divisions include U19 (includes HS Varsity), U16 (includes HS junior varsity), U14 Women’s Open and Co-Ed Open. Beach hockey is played with a rubberized ball which is slightly larger than a regular field hockey ball.

Teams will compete on the beaches of the Wildwoods and enjoy the water parks during the day and the famous Wildwood boardwalk and amusements in the evening. As part of their registration fee, each team will receive 10 Morey’s Piers Amusement and Water Park passes good for unlimited access to both Ocean Oasis and Raging Waters Beachfront water parks, plus unlimited rides on all three Amusement Piers all weekend long!
