A joyous 2024 Lancer Varsity FH team after a BIG 6-1 victory over ER on Senior Night 9/27/24
Sunday, March 30, 2025… Hello EIMS FH players and families! This is the first of our modified FH weekly updates for the Spring 2025 season. I will text a link to modified FH parents every Sunday night.
——
We are VERY fortunate to have 19 players registered for Modified FH! This is the largest team we have had in many years. Thank you to all players and parents for your continued support of Lancer Field Hockey!
——
I will be sending a quick 3-minute survey to all modified FH parents on Monday 3/31. In the meantime, the most pressing question I have for parents is whether their player will need to take the “Grand Circuit” late bus after practice any day this week. Please text me directly if your player will need the late bus after practice (Coach Fischer TEXT 585-233-2105)

EIMS MODIFIED FH WILL PRACTICE INDOORS AT LAURELTON-PARDEE GYM ON MONDAY 3/31 -TUESDAY 4/1 - WEDNESDAY 4/2
Coach Fischer posted these instructions to players on the school district Lancer FH Microsoft TEAMS page:
You will meet at the FH table in the EIMS cafeteria after school.
If you need to change clothes, please change in a bathroom at EIMS before boarding the Athletics Shuttle.
Please have on comfortable workout clothes for practice at L-P. You MUST wear sneakers!
There will be 2 Athletic Shuttle buses at EIMS, but only 1 will go to EHS and then to L-P (Bus #329).
PLEASE MAKE SURE you are all getting on the bus that is going to L-P after EHS (Bus #329).
Enter L-P at the south entrance that we use on Sundays.
Plan parent pick-up between 5:15-5:30pm at the L-P south entrance.
EIMS MODIFIED FH WILL PRACTICE OUTDOORS AT EHS STADIUM TURF 3:15-5:15pm on Thursday 4/3 and Friday 4/4
We will begin practice as soon as the Athletics Shuttle from EIMS arrives at EHS. Plan parent pick-up at EHS between 5:15-5:30pm in the EHS parking lot near the stadium gates. PLEASE encourage your players to dress for the weather. We will be practicing outdoors unless there is heavy rain and/or lightning. We will practice in light rain and other light precipitation. On cold days, we encourage sweatpants, sweatshirt, jacket and gloves.
PLAYERS WHO ARE IN THE EIMS MUSICAL JUST NEED TO LET US KNOW IF THEY NEED TO LEAVE PRACTICES EARLY OR IF THEY WILL MISS GAMES
Coach Fischer has already spoken with the Director of the EIMS musical. She has confirmed that we have at least 10 FH players involved in the musical this year. We understand that certain players will need to leave practices early and may miss our first few games altogether. Other musical participants may have more flexibility to stay at practices longer and not miss games. All we ask is that players/families clearly communicate with us at least 1 day in advance what is required to fulfill their commitment to the musical the next day (or week, if that is easier). Some of you may have noticed that we have four games currently scheduled the week of the musical. We are working to move those games away from the musical week to lessen the pressure on players who are also in the musical.
MONDAY 3/31
3:15-5:15pm Practice at Laurelton-Pardee gym. Players take Athletics Shuttle bus from EIMS. Parent pick-up 5:15-5:30 at L-P south entrance (adjacent to sledding hills).
