Goal Dismantle – Help!

We hope that everyone had a nice Thanksgiving holiday! The Newport Harbor Field Hockey players, coaches and alumni, who traveled to Arizona with Mulligan Field Hockey for the National Field Hockey Festival, had a fun time and played in some great games.

This email is a plea for some volunteers to help take down the field hockey goals at Harper Field so that we can store them for the winter. Jeff Chandler will be at Harper Field at 11:30 a.m. this Saturday, December 3.  If there are four or more people available to help, this can take less than an hour. It would be best if we could have some dads of freshman, sophomore, or junior players volunteer so that we can get an understanding of how to do this again next winter. Please confirm with Jeff if you can make it, his email is jdchandler@att.net. Thank you in advance for your help – this will keep our goals in good condition!

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!

Jeff Chandler
