Boosters: A Look to Next Season

To all NHHS Field Hockey Parents and Friends,

The 2010 season is over and it is hard to believe how quickly each season goes by!  No question the success of the teams and the joy our girls get from this sport helps things move along from the beginning of summer to the end of fall.  As President of the NHHS FH Booster Club I already have thoughts geared towards 2011.  One of those is filling various positions on committees and on the board.  Even though some of the positions may be filled by returning parents, I do not want to assume everyone will be back ready to go another year.  I hope so!!! But I realize everyone’s time is valuable and each year presents new challenges for all.  So please take some time to think it over and if you are willing to re-up from last year, great!  If you were on the sidelines in the past and want to be more involved going forward, that would be fantastic too!

The booster club board’s goal every year is to make sure we can provide the girls and the coaching staff with the best environment possible to succeed on the field and to have fun along the way.   We welcome new ideas but also want to preserve the traditions that have become a staple for this program.  Bringing new parents to the board and on committees is key to keep the field hockey energy going each year.  I have listed below all the positions but I do want to focus on two that I know are open on the board.  Secretary and VP.  We have added the VP position for next year to learn all the ins and outs of the program so that person will be ready for the following season to fill any open board positions or help coordinate some of the committees.  As our program grows so does our need for more help on the board as well as the committees.

VP                            Secretary                 Banquet Head      Parent Party Cord.

Parent Party Host       Car Wash                Uniforms               Merchandise Sales

Photography              Team Moms            Fields                     Alumni Game Cord.

If you have any questions about any of these positions please feel free to contact me, Nancy Rohan or Amanda Boyer.

In closing I want to send out a special thanks to Marlon and Kathy Liotta.  Their daughter Taylor is a senior and off they go to plenty of free time next year because they have given sooooo much of it the past 4 years.  Marlon took a zillion photos each year at almost every game and helped out with numerous things from painting to barbequing.  Kathy has been the go to person since she knew all the records and has been the glue in keeping all of us informed year round.  Any words I write cannot truly describe the effort they have given NHHS Field Hockey. Thank You Liottas!!!!!!!!

Go Sailors!

2010 Banquet

This year’s banquet was a huge success! Thank you to all who put in many hours to help make it happen, especially Banquet Coordinator Kathy Hancock. The girls and their seasons were definitely recognized and honored. From the laughter to the tears, it was a special night.

TOC Fans

The TOC was one week ago, yet the excitement and joy still hasn’t worn off. The Newport Harbor Sailor spirit was out of control that night. A huge thank you to all of the JV & F/S players, alumni, friends, and families for the posters, painted faces, cheers, and support. The team was definitely fueled by your overwhelming support.

Chan at Penn State

A note from Newport Harbor Field Hockey alumni Lauren Chandler on playing club field hockey at Penn State. The varsity team received a good luck from Lauren over speakerphone right before the championship game last Thursday. Great to hear from you Lauren!

“I am playing on the Penn State Field Hockey team for the season of 2010 and I love it! Im not going to lie, it is definitely not the same as Harbor. However, it fits into my schedule perfectly! I get to go to practice, socials, THON canning trips, and so much more. The girls are all so crazy and yet so down to earth. A plus bonus is we get to play on Varsity’s beautiful turf field…no big deal. It is amazing. I love being able to play club because I still get to play field hockey while enjoying college. It was a great decision for me to try out for the team. It gets me involved and keeps me in shape. I love playing and I hope all of those seniors out there are considering applying at the beautiful Penn State, home of Joepa and the Nittany Lion! WE ARE…PENN STATE!!!!”
