6th Grade Intramural Field Hockey

Dear Parent/ Guardian;

Sixth grade intramural field hockey will be starting Tuesday, October 4th. We understand that several sixth grade girls were excited to play this Fall, but under league rules they could not because the number of girls coming out to play in 7th and 8th grade was so great. We couldn’t allow the fall season to go by without offering an opportunity for 6th grade girls to get out there and play.

My name is Ms. Ethel Atkinson, and I will be your daughter’s coach. It does not matter if players are experienced, or completely new to the game. We will meet after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Goggles, shin pads, and a mouth guard are required. We are working on getting some sticks for players to borrow. At times we may join the 7th and 8th grade teams to foster a field hockey community. After all, someday these girls will be playing together. We will work on basic and advanced skills, but mostly we will get outside and have some fun and fitness together.

(Note: 7th and 8th grade students who would like to try a new sport without the pressure of making a team may also join us.)

I look forward to working with these girls. If you have any questions, please e-mail me at eatkinson@bonnyeagle.org.

Ethel Atkinson,

BEMS Reading Specialist/ Instructional Coach
