Sports Physicals

On Tuesday, June 2, the Athletic Department has arranged for physicals to be done by Dr. Tischler and his colleagues at Newport Orthopedic Institute. A yearly physical is a mandatory part of the athletic clearance packet that you must complete in order to participate in NHHS athletics. No appointment is necessary, just bring your completed physical forms from the Activities Forms and payment of $25 per student (Cash or Checks made payable to Newport Harbor HS Athletics) to Newport Orthopedic Institute, 22 Corporate Plaza Drive, Ste. 150, Newport Beach, at 5:30 p.m (please do not show up before 5:00 p.m.). If you have any questions, please call the NHHS Athletic Office at 949.515.6308. Click here to download the flyer.

*You may also choose to take the paperwork to a personal physician for the physical, but this must be completed by the first day of tryouts.

Showcase Game

Tomorrow, Thursday, November 12, Newport Harbor and Edison Field Hockey will be playing in a showcase game at Costa Mesa High School. The game is intended to bring excitement about field hockey to Costa Mesa High School to explore the option or opportunity to expand the sport. The game will begin at around 3:00 p.m. on the field by the blacktop. Post-season field hockey players will make up the team and are to be at the field at 2:30 p.m. for a very quick warm up, but if any players would like to join in, contact Coach Amanda Boyer today. Uniforms will be handed out at the field so make sure to wear spandex and a top you can switch.

Exciting News!

It was a fun day at Newport Harbor Field Hockey practice a few weeks ago when Coach Amanda gave a list of announcements and then finished a group discussion by explaining to the girls that they need to take very good care of their uniforms because they need to last another 15 years so that Coach Kerrie Rowe’s daughter can wear it! Yes, Coach Kerrie is expecting a baby girl!! Congratulations to Kerrie and Ryan!

Donate Blood

It has been an especially tough summer for one Newport Harbor Field Hockey family. On June 8, an alum parent, Julie Wolfe – mom to Zoie Wolfe (Class of 2010), was diagnosed with Luekemia. Julie is an avid Newport Harbor Field Hockey fan and gave so much to the program. We found out that there is a big need for people to donate blood. Unfortunately we cannot hold a blood drive because in order for the blood donation to go directly to Julie, they must be done at Hoag Hospital. SO we are inviting everyone to donate blood at Hoag.

If you are interested in donating, please call Hoag Blood Donor Services at 949.764.5621 to schedule an appointment. The Blood Donor Center is at 510 Superior Avenue, Suite 130. For a list of frequently asked questions about blood donation, click here. Julie specifically needs O-positive or O-negative blood, but any other blood types will be donated to the blood bank in her name. We appreciate any help with this, so if you know anyone else who would be interested in donating, please forward them this information.

Julie has been through two rounds of chemotherapy and has now returned home to enjoy summer until she begins the next stage of treatment. To stay connected, or to learn more about Julie, click here for her Caring Bridge webpage.
