Formally incorporated in 1997, while operating underneath the North Hunterdon booster club umbrella for decades prior, NHWC is a true K-12 program offering boys and girls developmentally-appropriate opportunities for advancement in the sport.  Having built one of the NJ's richest traditions, NHWC takes great pride in creating an environment that fosters growth, confidence, and character.  While high school age athletes practice and compete after school hours with the high school staff, youth athletes are placed in practice rooms and on competition teams based on experience, skill competency, age and size. Questions related to practice room placement should be directed to club leadership.
