Dear Field Hockey Players & Parents:

Hello! My name is Stacey Hart and I am entering my fourth year as the head coach for Mt. Lebanon. I played field hockey at Hartwick College and I have coached at the collegiate level for over 10 years. I have high expectations for our 2013 season and can’t wait to meet our newest teammates.

Pre-season begins on August 12th and will run for 2 weeks; an informational session will be held August 11th at 7pm in the park below the stadium. Details regarding our schedule will be provided as soon as possible and will also be available through the athletic office. All forms are available online and physicals are required to participate. Vacations, college visits, appointments and any other conflicts should be completed prior to August 12th; missing pre-season for any of these reasons will affect your try-out. Additional information is located on the MTLFH website at: mtlfh

Thank you in advance for your understanding and flexibility with our pre-season and practice schedule. All members of the coaching staff have professional jobs or are attending schools; we will make every effort to hold practice on a consistent schedule. We are all here because we love the game!

 YOU MUST HAVE YOU PHYSICAL COMPLETED AND TURNED INTO THE ATHLETIC OFFICE BEFORE AUGUST 12th TO TRY-OUT. I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY FORMS. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY JEPRODIZE YOUR TRY-OUT AND YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO PRACTICE UNTIL YOUR PAPERWORK IS COMPLETED.

FORMS THAT MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE ALTHLETIC OFFICE (NOT TO ME) ARE AVAILABLE AT:

Pre-season will consist of two weeks this year; teams will likely be decided at the end of the first week. All positions are open at this time. Conditioning will be a major factor in try-outs as well as, but not limited to, technique, attitude, effort, and skill. Players who come to tryouts and are not in shape may be asked to attend additional conditioning sessions.

Your summer training packet will be attached to this letter . You can also find the summer training on the website.

 

Please be prepared at all practices. Players should be dressed and ready to begin practice at the scheduled time. This included warm up laps and stretching. Please have running shoes, cleats or turfs, mouth guards, shin guards and a water bottle at every practice.

 

If anyone needs to reach me at any time now or during the season, I can be reached at the information listed below.

I look forward to seeing everyone during pre-season and working together throughout the season. See you on August 11th

Training Schedule

Running should be done at least 3 times per week. If you choose to run more then 3 times per week that will be fine. Please be smart. Please be sure to stretch well before running and lifting. No longer then 30 seconds of rest between sprints. Please read carefully as some days are “run” and some are “jog” All speed options are at a sprint pace. DO NOT CHOOSE THE SAME SPEED AND ENDURANCE OPTIONS EVERY TIME!!!

You will also be tested on how many push ups and crunches you can do in a minute so I would do those un-timed every day.

Push ups- At least 3 sets of 8 in the beginning and add sets as you progress.

1st mile you run in 7 minutes you get 4 minute rest before the next mile.

If you run 1st mile in 8 minutes you only get 3 minute rest and so on.
