8. Recommendation for Field Hockey
Drop the sport
Replace hockey with another girls sport like cross country or volleyball.
If we do not change our approach to the sport
I would recommend giving hockey another two years.
We develop chances for girls to be exposed to the sport and to hone their skills.
