B-Camp Athletes To Take Next Step
Toward 2004 U.S. Field Hockey Team Selections
Colorado Springs (July 18, 2003) -- One hundred three
of some of the country's most promising field hockey athletes will get a chance to
continue their National Team aspirations as the U.S. Field Hockey Association conducts its
annual Women's B Camp, July 21-25, at Penn State University.
Under the direction of
Olympian and U.S. Field Hockey assistant coach Andrew Griffiths, the invited athletes will
spend a week of intensive competition, skills training and analysis of international
tactics and strategies. The athletes earned their invitations to B Camp as a result of
performances at U.S. Field Hockey's college and high school Open Camps, Futures National
Tournament, U.S. Field Hockey’s Summer League and the 2003 A Camp. First-team
collegiate All-America selections also earn invitations to B Camp.
Based on their performances
at B Camp, athletes may then advance to the next step in the elite team development
process with an invitation to A Camp in February, 2004. Selections to the U.S. Under-19
and Under-21 Teams are made at A Camp. The U.S. national team is
selected during an open trial, with the next Open Trial opportunity scheduled for Aug. 28
– Sept. 1 at the U.S. Field Hockey National Training Center in Virginia Beach.
