7 - Aside tournament!

Mark your calendars now!!!!

Saturday, July 26th

(At the USA Field Hockey Training Center in Virginia Beach, Va.)
This tournament is to be held on Astroturf and will be played mostly with outdoor rules. Approximately 48 teams are expected from all over the nation! The field will play much like what we played on in Salisbury and be slightly larger but not full size! I can take a max of 12 players. In case of rain the tournament will end on Sunday! (this is an outside tournament) We will most likely be leaving on Friday and spending Friday night in Va beach! I will let you know more as soon as information becomes available!!! It should be lots of fun and a chance to play on a turf field so let me know if its something you all are interested in!! 302 337 8545 Lloydlee@dol.net

My plan is to assemble a U14 team who will play with us next season and try to qualify for nationals!! This will be an Indoor Team and I will talk more to you all about this!! You must be under age 14 as of January 1st 2004.

Of course we are gonna have one!! I'm counting on many of you returning from last year and us only picking up a few peeps!! Keep on the look out for more info!!

Back row... Angie, Connie, Sarah, Kaylan, Stacey, Lindsey, missing was Olivia :-(

3. Perfect practice leads to perfect play.... you cant be better than you practice..... at least not on a regular basis. So what can you be if you don't practice?

Thanks to Dusti's mom for keeping our stats...Its not easy keeping up with all your scoring!! LOL :-)

The American Championship complies with FIH and USFHA rules whenever appropriate and is played with qualifying rounds. Each team plays at least seven matches, and based on tournament record competes in either flight A or B Championship rounds (similar to winners and losers brackets). Teams from both flights will be able to compete for the title of tournament champions.
Over 100 college coaches have been invited to attend this tournament. Many have expressed interest and have confirmed their plans to attend. Up to 60 teams are expected to be showcased during the Championship.

This event is open to all under 19 year old field hockey teams in the US and Canada
This tournament will be a family event and provides a hockey skills area for the youngest players, ages 8 to 12. So bring the entire family to play in both the U-19 tournament and in the hockey skills area.
There's something here for every field hockey player and fan, no matter what the age.

Woodbridge had a good tournament and some great fun up at the east Coast tournament in Pa this past weekend. We finished in 6th place in our division and lost a few games we could have won that would have put us in the top 3. We competed with 32 other teams from all over the east coast from Delaware, MD, PA, NJ, NY, New Hampshire, and Maine.

We arrived early on Saturday and stayed at the Comfort Suites Inn in Carlisle pa! After cruising the main drag we stopped into Wendy's for lunch... the fish combo!! Yumm!! LOL We then hit Fashion Bug, some shoe place, and Coconuts for some "tunes". Later...... after we got the whole crew aboard we had dinner at Genova's and after a brief stop at the local Walmart ..... crashed after our team meeting!!

Sunday Morning came much to soon.... Our first game was at 7am (ugh) against the Tunkhannock Tigers from PA. After a somewhat sleepy start we went on to a 2-1 win, behind the 2 goals scored by Angie. Everyone played a great game and and we looked in some good form!

Our second game was against the Tsunami, a team from Pa, that went to the Nationals as a U19 team. We played them pretty hard even though we failed to score. We fell 3-0 in a game that we were close in till the very end!!

Our 3rd game was against another national qualifying team named the Spartan Storm from PA. We just never seemed to get on track in the 6 - 0 loss. I'm not sure if it was lack of sleep or just that we were hungry before lunch but that game was just better forgot!! LOL That was the game that a ball rolled under the side of the goal under the net and the ref called it good!! UGH!! Lets just forget it!!

It just didn't get any easier as our 4th game was against the Rochester Blizzards a team that won there national bracket and was one of the 8th best teams in the country!! We fell to them 6-0 too!! :-(

Finally getting back on track we played The Pittsburg black team and played a great game but just getting outscored 2-0 in the end! Another one that just barely got away!! LOL

We ended our day playing the 4th place finisher in another pool the Eclipse from PA. We came out hard and scored first on a goal by Kaylan. The eclipse then answered back with a goal of their own. After not getting awarded a stroke (that even the other teams coach said we should have had) the Eclipse slipped a goal by us late in the game for a 2-1 win! What a tough break!! Their coach said we should consider getting sponsored by Slazenger since we all had the same sticks! (he was actually a Slazenger fan!!) LOL

At days end.... I think all were happy to finally be done...... we were just tired and not used to playing hockey all day long!! Playing from 7am till 6pm is a full day!! LOL Or maybe it was all that fishing and pond wadding we did early in the afternoon!! You shoulda seen the one that got away .... wink.. wink.. hehehe :-)

Over all we played some of the best teams on the east coast and played most of them very close! We could have easily won 3 more of the games we played if things had just gone a little bit differently!! But hey that's the way the ball bounces!!! LOL I was very happy with our teams play and was happy that they got to see some of the best teams in the US and the skills they had. (We had 3 National U19 qualifying teams in our bracket!! Cut us a break schedule peeps!! LOL) But just you wait till next year!! We will be back better than ever..... with a new outlook and "mad" improved skills!! LOL
