US camp will help squad to develop

Coach: Hollis

The Bermuda women’s under-19 hockey team travel to Michigan State University tomorrow for an intensive camp geared towards enhancing their skills, while gaining valuable experience against quality opposition.

Helen Knull, the Michigan State coach, will be leading the camp which runs from July 17 to July 22.

Michigan State Univeristy, a division one hockey team, competed in the Big 10 Tournment, finishing 10-9 for the 2014-2015 season.

The Bermuda team will play evening matches against international players in their age group and attain training from global coaches.

While they are there, the team will be engaged in video sessions, seven-aside matches and four-hour-a-day skill instructions.

The evening games will abide to the new FIH rules, which will enhance the team’s knowledge and experience ahead of representing Bermuda in international competitions.

Whitter is the only member of the squad that competed for the senior national team at the 2014 Central Island and Caribbean Games held in Mexico.

The group have been coached by Jessica Hollis, Jonathan Sutcliffe, Val Young, Rachel Soares, Shallan Dennis and Megan Troake.

Squad: Maha Clarke, Kristen Ingelman, Pier Simons, Isabella Boonstra, Xela Swan, Taylor Mullen, Mollie O’Donald, Eloise Pinchin, Caitlin Lohan, Charlotte Rose, Chrysda Smith, Freyja Kermode and Selina Whitter.
