Field hockey players come in assorted weights, heights, hair colors, and intelligence, but all field hockey players have the same creed...
to play every minute of every half of every game
to the best of their abilities.

Yes...another update! We have two scrimmages next week. Departure times are as follows:
Monday August 22nd at King George, VA - Meet at Lackey in the cafeteria at 1:30pm. The scrimmage will start at 4:30pm. Wear your BLUE uniform! Coach Wilding could use help decorating her classroom starting at 9am if you would like to help :)
Wednesday August 24th at Westlake - Meet at Lackey in the cafeteria at 2:00pm. The three way scrimmage vs. Westlake and Stone will begin at 4:30pm. Wear your BLUE uniform!
**The game against Northern that was scheduled for September 2nd has been moved to October 21st. That means we do not have any games the first week of school.
BOOSTERS - Please sign up to help the boosters for concessions at our home games! Only 1 parent has volunteered to work the field hockey games :( If your child plays on varsity please sign up to work JV and vice versa. The boosters do SOOOO much for athletics at our school. Let's show them our support! Not sure how? Send me an email at rrizor@ccboe.com.
We have two goal backboards that need to be repaired. We are looking for a parent or parents who are skilled with a saw and are willing to help repair the goals. The materials will be provided, we just need your time. Email me if you can help at rrizor@ccboe.com.

Just a quick note about the new rule for eye protection. This coming season, NFHS has mandated that all high school field hockey players must wear protective eyewear. Below is a PDF file that provides some guidance regarding acceptable eyewear. You need to have your eyewear on the first day of practice. It is important to get used to wearing the eyewear. You may want to even consider wearing it if you are playing at all this summer.
Also, make sure you get a clearance packet from the school. Fill it out, get your physical and turn your paperwork in to Mr. Anderson as soon as possible. Please do not wait until the last minute! If you are not cleared on August 13th, you cannot practice! It is also important that you make sure your clearance packet has two emergency cards. One of your cards will go to me and the other will go to the Athletic Trainer. If you do not have two copies, you can fill out one and photocopy it rather than picking up a new packet.
See the June 16th post for reminders about what you need to do before practice starts. If you are considering field hockey camp, take a look at the May 19th post for a list of suggested local camps. Please don't wait until the last minute to register. If you are not sure which camp to attend, send me an email or a text.
Hope you are having a great summer! Have fun but don't forget to start your running!!! :)
