Today was the first day of the Field Hockey Futures program being held at the University of Louisville. The Field Hockey Futures program is run by USA Field Hockey and is an elite training experience for high school athletes. It is in game format with scorekeepers and one USA Field Hockey tabulator. Shortened games are coached by top coaches and the teams are made up of girls who may not have ever met.
According to the website it the Futures program is the start of the Olympic Development pipeline and virtually all of the National Team members participated at one time.
My supervisor for the day was Lucia White who is the Region 9 Director for the Futures program. She came in from Michigan to head up the event and direct the workers and coaches for the weekend.
My first job for the day was to set up signs for the teams on the bleachers, set up snack tables for the coaches in the locker room, make sure the scorers/time table was all set up and make sure schedule signs were posted all over. After that I was responsible for checking in the athletes. They all came at once and we just led them to the section of bleachers where their designated team was located.
The check in did not take too long and we waited for any stragglers until after the first game. Once that was cleaned up I was basically on call for the remainder of the games. I helped to gather score sheets from the scorers and return them to the tabulator. I also helped the tabulator double check the scores and make sure everything was entered into the system correctly. I will be working the same event tomorrow, stay tuned!
