To be the best, learn from the best.

🌸

The sun ☀️ was shinning today, so many thoughts of Spring!

Coyotes will be taking on the spring with some turf time. 5v5, skill work and some open nets! Capping it off for some final fun.

💯

Day One in the books! Thank you SO much and for the awesome competition and sportsmanship. It was an honor to play such amazing clubs.

Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success!

THE. BEST. YEAR. EVER

Gratitude is one of the most powerful human emotions. Once expressed, it changes attitude, brightens outlook, and broadens our perspective.

That’s why we love our 2020 ! What a year for the Coyotes ❤️

•We made a big statement at our tournaments.
•We committed our seniors so they can continue their journey.
•We welcomed (BACK) the most amazing alumni coaching staff one has ever seen.
•We took the game outside, got creative, stayed safe and focused on mental health.
•We welcomed MANY new Coyote pups and grew the greatest game.
•We gave back to the Field Hockey community providing equipment.
•We supported each other through everything.

So while we keep hearing 2020 was the worst year ever, we disagree. After all, it is the year toilet paper got the recognition it deserves!

Cheers to many more fantastic years together!
