Field Hockey at Disney Showcase











Once more the Disney machine has shown they know how to run a venue! The Wide World of Sports complex is phenomenal and it hosted the Field Hockey Showcase on 6-8 February. (While we were there, Disney was also hosting a far different event: the national cheerleading championships. Cheerleaders and Field Hockey players demonstrated just how different they are). Here are a few shots of our Capitol Pegasus U19 team.

As Anne Marie took hundreds of photos, I shot only a few, as I know she'll share her shots with all of us.
We hope that Anne Marie is working on the companion piece, How Field Hockey Players Are Different from Cheerleaders:
#1: Field Hockey Players do not dress alike when out of Uniform.
#2: Field Hockey Players do not wear matching hair ribbons. They might wear sinister bandanas.

Thanksgiving Revisited


We're well on our way to Christmas as I post this photo from Thanksgiving. If it doesn't look like Thankgiving to you, it is one that we will always remember.


This photo of Capitol Pegasus U16 was taken at the polo grounds in Indio, California (near Palm Springs), where the U.S. Field Hockey Festival was held!
All the great things we'd heard about Festival were true! We just didn't know the trip would also include an ER visit on Thanksgiving!
We greatly enjoyed our travels with this great group of girls and their parents.
