LANCER ATHLETICS FLOWER SALE FUNDRAISER IS ACCEPTING ONLINE ORDERS THROUGH 4/24

(NOTE: Lancer FH is NOT participating in the flower sale this year)

With Coach Cooper and Coach Fischer both working full time and also coaching EIMS modified FH for the first time this spring, we have decided that our time constraints would make it difficult to properly manage this fundraiser for our FH players & families. That is why field hockey is choosing to step away from the flower sale this year.

We sincerely hope that all of our loyal customers will continue to support this important fundraiser. We recommend that you credit your flower purchase to the All Sports Booster Club, as this organization provides vital support to all Eastridge athletics, including field hockey!

PLEASE REVIEW THE DUAL (FH & MUSICAL) CALENDAR FOR ALL FH PLAYERS/FAMILIES WHO ARE ALSO INVOLVED IN THE MUSICAL

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).

Coach Fischer created a dual calendar for FH and the musical that covers the next two weeks. Please review this calendar so that we are all on the same page.

This is the fourth time in the past 12 years that Lancer FH has received the Section V Team Sportsmanship Award (2014, 2019, 2022, 2024). The award is voted on by the Greater Rochester Field Hockey Umpire Board. Coach Cooper and Coach Fischer work hard to keep our EHS FH program moving in a positive direction. We are grateful for our awesome players, fantastic parents and supportive Athletic Department. This award recognizes the efforts of players, coaches, parents and our school district in pursuing good character and sportsmanship within athletic programs and in athletic competitions.

FALL 2023: SECTION V (DIV 2) COACHING STAFF OF THE YEAR

Lancer Field Hockey Coaches Cooper and Fischer were honored to be named the Fall 2023 Section V Division II Coaching Staff of the Year by our fellow Section V field hockey coaches. It is a testament to the great improvement our very young varsity team made throughout the Fall 2023 season! (DID YOU KNOW? Coach Fischer was also named Section V Division II Coach of the Year in Fall 2016. That was another season of great improvement for our Lancers and also a season in which Coach Fischer coached BOTH the varsity and JV teams.)
