Day 6.... & Parent BBQ

Well the first week has flown by and we're ready to face our first scrimmage tomorrow. Yesterday we had a busy day getting ready for our scrimmage, superhero dress up day, and our 2nd annual parent BBQ. It was great seeing old faces and meeting some new, so thank you to all the families that came yesterday! Your support is amazing and your enthusiasm for Northern Field Hockey is contagious! A special thanks goes out to Mr. Kelly for manning the grill. The burgers and dogs were delicious!

Girls: a reminder to be at the field by 10am and wear a white shirt, black shorts, and white shinguards. Go hounds!

We survived Day 5!

We have been blessed to have some pretty nice weather this week, and today was no exception. This "field hockey weather" makes practice easier on the girls, and keeps them in good spirits, which translates with how much harder they work. The girls had another challenge for the Preseason Olympics. It was a great team bonding experience and provided LOTS of laughs. Congrats to Germany and Ireland on their win! (Pictured below)
Unfortunately our other teams did not finish, but they put forth a great effort!
Tomorrow we have our 2nd annual team and family BBQ! Looking forward to seeing all the families and meeting some new faces. Parents if you can arrive at 10:45 under the overhang by the west cafeteria, Coach Ritter would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!
