Beyond Sticks’ travel team, ECFH: NoVA returned from our first USA field hockey Festival over thanksgiving. The trip was absolutely incredible and an eye opening experience for the group that attended. Many of the young ladies had their first taste of the club style hockey, and are excited about raising their level of play with the Beyond Sticks style of coaching. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I’ll let the girl’s smiling faces give you a taste of the adventure we went on while the rest of the country was in a post-turkey coma.
Enjoy!
