Hey there, my name is Julie. The memories we are creating here will be ones I will remember forever. We not only have been experiencing playing field hockey overseas, but we have been visiting the amazing beaches, tourist attractions, and eating the delicious meals. We had our second game today and of course were adjusting to the heat. Within the first twenty minutes of the first half we were down three to zero, but pulled together as a team and tied it up before half. We played a strong second half and WON five to four. It was the perfect ending to a great week for our team and it was definitely a great way to start our preseason.
Greetings from Bermuda!! Maura here! Well today is Thursday, and I can’t believe our journey is almost over!! Monday and Tuesday we soaked up the sun at Grotto Bay and Horseshoe Bay. Wednesday we spent the day shopping at St. George and Hamilton. Today we started our day early taking the bus to St. George, where we hopped on the ferry to the Dockyards. There, we enjoyed the beach again at Snorkel Park. After a few hours in the sun we journeyed to the Bermuda Art Gallery, and the Bermuda Maritime Museum. There we saw Dolphin Quest, which there are only three of those in the world. The dolphins were so cute! Next we explored more and I learned about the Sea Venture, which sunk and the survivors created two vessels and sailed to Virginia. Anyways, it was time to go back on the ferry to the hotel and prepare for the game. Tonight’s game has been the highlight of this week. We were down two goals and came back and won 5-4. It was so great to see our team working together, scoring, and connecting on the field. I’m so proud of our team and wish you all could of seen us play!! Well, hope you enjoy your time in PA, NJ, or NY, while I’m laying on the beach tomorrow!! See ya soon! Ps. Hi Mom!!! J
Hi from Bermuda, this is Maureen. This trip has been so much fun! We have been to so many beautiful places such as St. George, Hamilton, and Horseshoe Bay. The beaches are beautiful and the shopping has been fun. Today we went to the Dockyards where we swam and snorkeled in the bay and then went around the town into the shops. We also played our second game against the Bermudian team tonight. We started off down by three goals but were able to come back and win 5-4. Our team has been having a lot of fun together and becoming much closer, and I feel this trip has helped us do so. Tomorrow is our last day to lie on the beautiful beach at Grotto Bay before we return home! See you all soon!
Salute from Bermuda! I am Kayla. My experience here has been unlike any other. The Bermudians welcomed us in with opened arms and warm smiles. I feel so honored to be able to play the sport I love while doing one of my favorite things, traveling with friends. Our expeditions throughout the day were activities that suited what we like to do, shop, eat, and be surrounded by our good friends in a beautiful island community. I feel blessed.
In August, women's field hockey coach Amy Endler will travel with the team to Bermuda. Along with excursions to Horseshoe Bay, historic Dockyards, and St. George, the trip will feature field hockey games against the Bermudian national team.
