More than 100 girls ranging from kindergarteners to eighth-graders were escorted by a family member and name tagged for four half days at Cape’s Champions Field Hockey Camp.
When asked, “How many of these kids are Cape district kids?” Debbie Windett responded, “About 95% of them.”
The girls were broken down into three groups by age/grade – K-2, 3-5 and 6-8. Thirteen on-field coaches, all current and former Cape players, were there for encouragement and instruction.
“We have a lot of depth and talent up at the high school right now,” said Cape coach Kate Austin. “But the younger kids are going to be something else.”
Hockey open fields continue each Tuesday night through Aug. 5. Practices for fall sports begin Monday, Aug. 11.
