HAUNTED HAYRIDE TEAM BONDING EVENT!
All 25 EHS FH players took part in the VerHulst Haunted Hayride team bonding event on Friday night! Many thanks to Varsity 11th grader Casey for organizing the event. She did a great job! Many additional thanks to all the parents who volunteered to carpool players to the event and get them back home safely. Many parents also provided snacks and warm beverages for the evening. Coach Cooper and Coach Fischer are grateful to have such a supportive and helpful group of FH parents. And, of course, we love all 25 of our brave EHS FH players!
We used EHS FH fundraising dollars to pay for this event. Here’s how it worked:
17 players had enough fundraising dollars in their personal FH fundraising accounts to cover the full cost of the Haunted Hayride $35 per person fee. For these players, EHS FH simply deducted the $35 fee from their individual accounts.
4 players had partial payment of the $35 fee covered with their personal FH fundraising account. For these players, EHS FH deducted the partial fee from the player’s account (bringing their balance to zero) and added in the remainder of the $35 fee from our General FH Team fundraising account.
4 players had zero balance in their FH fundraising accounts. For these players, EHS FH covered the full $35 fee from our General FH Team fundraising account.
All players will receive a text this week with their updated FH account balance.
EHS FH ONLINE APPAREL STORE: LINK WILL BE PROVIDED THIS WEEK!
The EHS FH Team Store is Open Through to Monday 10/28
LINK: https://eastridge-field-hockey-winter24.itemorder.com/
It is completely optional to purchase team apparel.
If you choose to make a purchase, you have the option of being reimbursed for the purchase through your personal FH fundraising account.
However, PLEASE NOTE that you must purchase the items online FIRST via credit card and then submit the receipt to Coach Fischer for reimbursement through the Booster Club.
Also, any FH family wishes who to make an apparel purchase, but has difficulty with online credit card purchases, let Coach Fischer know and we may be able to create a cash purchase solution for you.
The higher priced items in the the team store are all Holloway brand. This includes:
“Homefield” team jacket

“Limitless” warmup jacket (made of the same material as the Limitless warmup pant… no outer shell)
Limitless quarter-zip hoodie (a bit fancier than our regular hoodie… made of the same material as the Limitless pant)
See Reference Chart below for more information on Adult and Youth sizing for Holloway items
QUICK REMINDER: PLEASE KEEP YOUR COMMENTS POSITIVE & SUPPORTIVE ON GAME DAYS
Coach Cooper and Coach Fischer hope that all EHS FH spectators know that we work hard to prepare our FH players for each game. We want nothing more than for each player to deliver the very best game they can on any given day. Regardless of wins and losses, we are 100% confident that every Lancer FH player gives her individual very best in every game, and that every Lancer FH player wants very much to get the win with each contest. Players know the game plan in advance and simply wish to execute it well (which they have done in most games this season). Unfortunately, spectator commentary and “coaching” from the sidelines can be distracting and stressful to players. So, please, let the coaches manage the game and keep the spectator support positive while avoiding sideline “coaching.” The button below will take you to a short and very useful article on “3 Secrets To Being a Sensible Youth Sports Spectator.” Thanks!
SENIOR NIGHT GAME: Congratulations Seniors & Thank You Parents!
We want to congratulate our Lancer Seniors once again. What a fantastic game and celebration! We also want to thank all the FH parents who helped with the t-shirt making event last Sunday at the Teixeira house and also with the Senior Night stadium decorations, serving the cake and cleaning up at the end of the post-game event. The players and coaches are grateful for all the effort that went into making a Senior Night that was truly memorable and meaningful.
