There's nothing like the smell of the bright green grass on a beautiful fall afternoon. The sound of hollow plastic balls being slammed against the wood cage. The Autumn sun glaring down on your goggles, allowing your shin guard tan to get even a bit more noticeable. Turf beads, stuck to your clothes, filling your shoes, and the amazing joy of playing alongside your teammates. These are just some of the reasons why playing field hockey is one of the best things you could do during high school. Not a day goes by where I don't miss playing the best sport ever, but if those vivid descriptions weren't enough, here are a few more reasons why I miss high school field hockey.
PS: To my friends, I am sorry for some of these pictures. XOXO
