YMCA TO PROMOTE FIELD HOCKEY FOR AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM
by Ralf Heuser
Some of you may remember my name as I ran unsuccessfully for the position of USFHA Director of Sport Development. Today, I want to inform you about an exciting concept to grow the sport of field hockey.
As you all know the YMCA is committed to building strong kids, strong families, and strong communities. In view of the recent epidemic of overweight and under-active children, the YMCA believes that engaging as many young people as possible in heretofore undiscovered sports activities like Field Hockey is the best way to overcome this growing health risk. It is also a great vehicle for teaching kids positive values and sportmanship and helping build their self-esteem.
