Uniform Care

Posted on by

Newport Harbor Field Hockey uniforms were distributed on Thursday. Thank you to Buffi and Nancy for all of your organization and help!

Please make sure to take good care of the uniform so that we can use them for many years to come. As a reminder, if there are any damages or the uniform is not returned, your $75 deposit will be forfeited. Here are the care instructions:

Dryfit Polo Shirt Instructions

  • Machine wash on cold
  • Do not use fabric softener
  • Do not bleach (if necessary, only use non-chlorine bleach)
  • Tumble dry on low
  • Do not iron (if necessary, use only cool iron)
  • DO NOT DRY CLEAN
  • Wash after each use, especially the white shirt, to decrease possibility of sweat stains

Kilt (Skirt) Instructions

  • Do not shorten the length of the skirt by cutting the material or sewing the hem
  • You may move the buttons by sewing them to a new location, other than that please do not alter the skirts
  • Machine wash on cold

Parent Meeting

Posted on by

The Fall 2015 Parent Meeting will be held on Tuesday, August 25 at 7:00 p.m. The meeting will be located in the Student Center at St. Andrew’s.

Please download the 2015 Contribution/Registration/Merchandise form, fill out the bottom part, and bring everything to the parent meeting.

It is very important that one or both parents be present to represent their daughter. This will be a chance to meet the coaching staff, Booster Board, and other parents. There will also be an opportunity to sign up for team dinners, volunteer positions, purchase merchandise, and hear about the upcoming fall season.

*FROSH/SOPH ‘bond fire’ will be rescheduled in order allow for parents to attend the meeting, so practice will be at 3:00-5:00 p.m. at Harper. Girls are to bring a water jug to decorate, and be ready to practice (bring normal hockey gear and wear athletic clothes and shoes).

We hope to see you there!

2015/2016 Teams Posted

Posted on by

The 2015/2016 Newport Harbor Field Hockey Teams have been posted to the Teams Page.

“Thank you to all who participated in the summer camp and tryouts. The Newport Harbor Field Hockey program is very competitive. The coaching staff had to make some very difficult decisions as we considered each athlete’s skill, speed, stamina, strength, progression, coach-ability, work ethic, attitude, and 4-year potential. While we look forward to the upcoming season, we regret having to cut any player, or keep any player from advancing to another team, and recognize the dedication and commitment that she has shown by participating in the summer camp and tryouts. We hope that this disappointment does not stop athletes from pursuing the many other activities and programs offered at Newport Harbor High School. We also invite those who did not get placed onto a team to tryout next year. If you have any questions or would like an assessment of current strengths and areas for improvement, please feel free to contact me at amandamboyer@gmail.com. Thank you again for your participation and understanding.” – Amanda Boyer
