JBS, Villa, St. Joe, Ladue

Pattonville, Parkway South, Central, West, Whitfield, Principia, Lutheran South

Parkway Central, South, Eureka, we were competitive with Rockwood and Marquette except for last year

I have a very young team maybe only 4 seniors

since we only scored 1 goal last season we will go with defense

no, right now I only know of 2 incoming freshman

not that I know of

3 but none that play on the travel teams

most are multi sport or only do field hockey but do not play club

If a team will graduate a big class of seniors that had a big impact on program, take a look and see how they have fared the past couple of years are they on the rise, are they on the decline

No you have teams who practice every day on water turf and the quarter finals and above have been moved to water turf. We have high school teams who have the majority of or if not all their players playing on the top teams at Gateway and Aim. We have catered everything to the top programs and we toss aside the players who have just discovered the sport of field hockey or don't have the financial means to play club or all year round

What I would like to see is embrace the 3 levels (you can see where the breaks are in the rankings) we have of field hockey here in St. Louis very similar to what ice hockey does for those
