Play Day Times

This Saturday JV & Frosh/Soph will be participating in the Westminster High School Field Hockey Play Day. JV will be playing in the Varsity bracket and Frosh/Soph will be participating in the JV bracket. Some Varsity players will be present as they help officiate throughout the day. Games are 25 minutes in length with no breaks. The time is kept at a central location for all of the fields and dictated by an air horn. Teams have five minutes to get on and off of the field.

Players need to bring both color uniforms and socks. We will bring our new EZ-ups to provide shade and a resting place for the teams. The girls generally bring snacks to munch on throughout the day as they wait in-between games. Good luck girls!
