Strengths/Question Marks: “We are a team who graduated a large starting class and entering a new group of starters as well as a full new coaching staff will have bumps, but we have built this group through the offseason and then continued to build through pre pre-season. We are ready to hit the ground and take off. Our strengths will continue to be our speed and our quick transitions. We will work for a pack-like mentality to ensure that every player on our field has support.”
Outlook: “We are prepared to make a statement this season with a new era of CB South Field Hockey. Our team is strong, ready to build a solid foundation, and breathe life into this year. Our team is heading into this new chapter with their heads high, vision clear and their sights set on team success. We have returners who are excited and ready for another chance in district play, after getting a taste and losing in shootouts last season. We have goals of a post season run and to build on what we have accomplished in the past couple seasons. With the new teams in the schedule we are excited for some fresh competition to help prepare for a competitive division that we are placed in. Our team is conditioned and they are ready to make their dreams a reality this season. Let’s get this season started!”
