Summer 2019 Welcome to Torrey Field Hockey! My name is Krista Jackson and I have the pleasure of coaching my third field hockey season at LJCDS as the program enters its fourth season! Field hockey is a FUN, high-paced sport that has similarities to both soccer and lacrosse. As a fall sport, it’s a great way to meet new friends (before school even starts) and help prepare your fitness for winter or spring sports. Players of all levels are welcome- you do not need to have field hockey experience to join the team. We are looking for team players who are willing to work hard, bring a positive attitude, grow a new sport, and have a whole lot of fun! Preseason practices start Monday August 5th on the baseball outfield. Week 1 (8/5 - 8/9) 3:30-5:30pm for NEW players, 4:00-6:00pm for RETURNING players Week 2 (8/12 - 8/16) 3:30-6:00pm for ALL players *Friday 8/16- 9:00am Beach practice at La Jolla Shores (ALL) Monday 8/19 8:30am-11am for ALL players First day of school 8/20- Practice 3:30-5:30pm **School day practices- 3:30-5:30pm Equipment Equipment can be purchased in stores at Dick’s Sporting Goods or Play It Again Sports, or online at www.longstreth.com or www.harrowsports.com.

Water Bottle Summer Camps To prepare for the field hockey season, I strongly encourage girls to participate in summer camps or clinics.

Also, build your fitness conditioning by running, doing agilities, sprints, plyometric exercises, strength conditioning, etc. LJCDS’s Athletic Performance Camp led by Coach Reaume is an excellent way to prepare for our fall season. The class runs 2 hours per day, 4 days per week, June 17-July 26 and is free for LJCD students. Contact Coach Reaume at [email protected] with any questions. If you have any questions or wish to play field hockey this fall, please send your name and grade to [email protected]. I look forward to seeing you in August!
