Bears Field Hockey Club: Bears Hockey News and Updates

If you want to play field hockey this season, please go to USA field hockey and sign up.  You can only be on the field if you are a member of USA field hockey so we can make sure you are properly insured.

Please try to get this done before we start practice on August 31st.

PLEASE PRINT OUT A COPY OF YOUR MEMBERSHIP AND BRING IT ON SUNDAY!

Hi All!

Below you will find the information you need for this coming hockey season.

We NEED YOUR REGISTRATION FORMS before our first practice on August 23rd.  Please print these forms out and hand them in.  They can be found on our website.

It's important to get your registration forms in and get on the roster. We will be ordering our T-shirts soon and will have to know how many to order as well.

There are a few things that you will be responsible for and here is a breakdown of the cost per player:  We hope that the upcoming fundraisers will help defray some of these costs!

COSTS PER PLAYER:

Pleated Skirt ----> $11.98
T-shirt ----------> $5.00 (estimated, hopefully fundraiser will pay for this!)
Navy Blue Shin Guards ------> $8.99 (You can get these on ebay to get the best price)
Mouth guard -----------------> $0.99 (Wal-mart has these)
Field Hockey Stick-------------> $19-20.00 (The first 24 girls can have a loaner stick for the season for free! We were able to get a sponsor who paid for them. The littlier girls MAY have to purchase their own because they need a shorter stick than what we have in our inventory)
Player insurance --------------> $25.00
through USA Field Hockey. Our number one priority with the fundraisers this summer will be paying this fee per player. Hopefully, either a sponsor or the proceeds will cover this cost!

Let's try to really work hard at our fundraisers to try and offset the costs!

UNIFORM INFORMATION:

SKIRT
The game of field hockey is played in a skirt. The pleated skirt that you will wear can be found here. The color will be NAVY/GOLD. Please have these purchased before the season starts on August 23rd.

T-SHIRT/POLO SHIRT
We will be placing the T-shirt order shortly which will have our logo on it! It is important to get your forms in so we can have an accurate head count.  We have our T-shirts from last year, but this year we are hoping for new ones that have "Mater Ecclesiae Bears" on it.

SHOES
Regular sneakers will work fine, but cleats definitely work best! Ebay is great for a used pair of cleats. I have also seen them at second hand shops for about $5.

Hi Team!

Just a reminder we have practice this Sunday, Sept. 7th at 1:00 PM sharp.

Please be in FULL UNIFORM which includes the pleated skirt, sneaks/cleats, shin guards, mouth piece and white or gold polo/T-shirt.  Please have your hair pulled back too. 

Can't wait for another great practice.

PS - we are working on getting the team to go to a township and/or school field hockey practice or game a few times this season so that we can learn from an established team.  More information on this field trip coming soon....
