**7/12 --> MANDATORY EYEWEAR FOR THE FALL 2011 SEASON HAS BEEN OFFICALLY PASSED BY THE PIAA. Please read below e-mail I sent earlier in the week. **  This means that you will need to purchase a pair in order to play in the season games. I recommend that you make this purchase ASAP (if you have not done so already) because 64,000 people now need to do that very same thing. If you wait, you will most likely not be able to get a pair on time. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THEM YOU CAN NOT COMPETE IN GAMES. As unfortunate as I believe this rule is we are going to need to follow it. Unfortunately, school districts have taken the approach that the eyewear is considered to be protective equipment (such as are your shinguards and mouthguards) and they are not going to be purchasing them for you. I will be purchasing one or two "in case of emergency" pairs; for instance if yours break during a game, or you forget them for a game, etc...

You will need to start wearing them for Pre-Season so please plan accordingly.

Now, for what you need to get... The best place for you to go to buy the eyewear will be Longstreth. They know exactly which goggles/glasses are approved and which are not for the season. I can make some recommendations as to what I would buy but PLEASE get whatever works for you. Make sure you try them on in the store and play with a stick to make sure that your vision is not negatively affected. With that being said, I would STAY AWAY from the wire cage glasses that are used for Lacrosse because it has been my experience that they are difficult to see out of. Also, keep in mind that everyone is going to be wearing them so PLEASE buy whichever ones you can see out of the best. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not buy them based on how they look!!!

I will attach a few links to different options that you have, but do try to actually go to the store and try of various types and styles.   The page where you can find a list of all the different Eyewear for Field Hockey:  []__

 I recommend these (try to get them in clear because you have a lot of night games and I am not sure how the tinted ones would be under the lights: @http://www.longstreth.com/HALO-SUNGLASSES-EYEGUARD-_-GOGGLES/productinfo/LHS7900/__

 Please let me know if you have any questions, I will try my best to help you. Thanks,  Coach Renshaw

Paperwork is available in the HS/MS offices or at this link: <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 130%;">[] <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 130%;">Please have your Physical completed BEFORE August 15th. You can not practice until you have one!!!

Pennsylvania is currently fighting this new mandate as a Title IX issue. However, it is __**appearing**__ as though you will need them to play. The sooner you purchase them the less likely it will be that they will be backordered (which is going to happen if everything is finalized at the last minute), or if they are backordered, you will receieve them in time for the season. You can find them at Longstreth Sporting Goods Store in Parkerford (right off 724). High School AND Middle School will need to wear them. If you do purchase a pair, I would recommend not opening them or using them until I am certain that the rule will be enforced this fall. KEEP YOUR RECEIPT so you are able to return them if necessary. Here is a link to Longstreth's offering's of FH Protective Eyewear. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 130%;">[]

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 130%;">I would suggest the Halo Sunglasses's Eyeguard/Goggles ([|LHS7900]). <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 130%;">[] <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 130%;">or <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 130%;">the Halo Women's Lacrosse and Field Hockey Goggle ([|LHPG]). <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 130%;">[]

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 130%;">The reason I am recommending these is that the USFHA currently does not allow wire rimmed cage glasses (like the ones used in Lacrosse) for use in Field Hockey.
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 130%;">Please keep in mind that you will be playing night games so you may want to consider purchasing the "clear" goggles rather than "tinted" ones. **
