This Week in Hawktivities
Practice Schedule for the Week
Coaches have the right to adjust the schedule as they see fit, so make sure you are getting whatever communication comes from your program. Many of our programs have varying time schedules for practice as all our programs work together to maximize practice space and utilize our facilities equally.
Booster Club Update
Our Booster Club Board is small but mighty! We can use all the help, so if you are interested in supporting our student athletes and the Boosters efforts, let us know and we can get you connected. There are plenty of opportunities to help and even if you think your skillset is not useful, we can find a way to make it useful!
The Booster Club handles all things concessions which is the single largest source of income for our athletics budget. FCPS does not supply a yearly budget, so outside of buses and officials, we have to fundraise for everything else. The Boosters and their efforts, allow us the ability to purchase all the things that our student athletes need and want. Some of their recent purchases include the windscreens around our facilities, the baseball turtle and supporting our youth clinics.

Athletes of the Week
We were fortunate to have an incredible number of our student athletes represent Hayfield and Hawk Pride on their respective All National District teams. See them all here - Hawks on the All National District Teams, Hawks on the All Occoquan Region Teams and Hawks on All State
Kudos to all of our amazing student athletes that competed this Fall and to all our amazing student athletes that are competing for Winter teams! We look forward to seeing you all compete on the mats, in the pools, on the track and on the courts!
Notes From Our Programs
Stay tuned for Amazon wish lists for all our programs in the near future. We have requests from the community to provide ways that our programs can be supported in small, subtle ways. All programs that would like to be involved and included will be tasked with providing a link to their wishlist to provide to the community.
Both of our basketball programs are getting early season tests with a tough schedule and playing some of the top competition in the area.
Gymnastics has competed well in their two meets so far.
Swim and dive are off to a good start in the pool and track will be competing at their first invitationals soon.
Wrestling hosted the Capital Duals with 18 teams competing across two days.
Winter sports are certainly here and our teams are representing our school and themselves well!
Stay tuned for information on our Winter fundraiser through MySchoolBucks!
Coach Drickey’s Thoughts and Ramblings
I urge you to take advantage of our Booster Club passes and gain entrance to all home regular season contests for the price of your membership. With that in mind, the expectation is that fans are coming to support and cheer for our team and our students, while making sure that we don’t make negative comments to officials or our opponents.
We are excited for our student athletes to demonstrate their success on the field and excel in the classroom, as we chase district, region, and state championships. Our goal is to make Hayfield THE school in Northern Virginia, Virginia proper and the entire country.
This week’s quote comes from the great Pele, “success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, and most of all, love of what you are doing.” Those that demonstrate and embrace those things, will see great success regardless of the score or result. Our goal is to make every student feel supported, cherished and seen. We will continue to make that our goal and mission!
We look forward to our athletes, coaches and supporters winning on the field, courts, mats, track and in the pools, and in the classroom with class and HAWK PRIDE!
