ATHLETIC TRAINERS, WATER & ICE
There will be athletic trainers on site at all times throughout the weekend. If there are 3 or more games going at once, we will have 2 athletic trainers. When there are 6 or more games, we will have 3 athletic trainers. One trainer will arrive 60 minutes before the start of the first games (and be located by the registration tent/clubhouse), the additional trainers will arrive 15 minutes before, and all will stay through the end of play.
There will be ice at each of the athletic trainer tents. There will be an AED on site. Athletic Trainers will be tracking any potential weather and work closely with us if there is a weather issue. While they will have full supplies, we highly encourage players who regularly need to be taped to bring their own tape with them.
There will be 1 water cooler on each bench we will keep filled up at each field throughout the weekend. Players are encouraged to bring their own water bottles and refill their bottles using these when needed. We will not be providing cups.
CONCESSIONS
We will be offering concessions at the main concession building between fields #1 and #2.
*No alcohol will be sold due to PIAA rules*
OFFICIAL INVITATIONAL T-SHIRTS
A limited number of short sleeve and long sleeve official invitational t-shirts will be available to purchase throughout the weekend (design above). Shirts will be available for purchase at the registration/welcome tent and we will accept cash and credit cards. If you “pre-ordered” shirts by the deadline, we will have those set aside for you. Pre-orders may be paid for by cash, check or credit card (preferably one transaction for the whole order).
ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAMS
We are excited to recognize the top performers from the weekend in two All-Tournament Teams: a First Team and Second Team! There will be 15 athletes named to each team and a minimum of 1 GK on each. Other than that, position is not a factor.
At the conclusion of each game, we will collect both coach’s top 2-3 performers from each team (their own and their opponents). We will also be watching games, polling officials, scorers, college coaches and other individuals as well to determine our picks.
Selections will be announced by Tuesday, September 27th on MAXFieldHockey.com and over MAX Field Hockey’s social media channels.
