Harrow Cup

For most, field hockey careers come to an abrupt halt with the final whistle of a senior athlete’s season. As the life circle of the sports world goes, their jerseys are then passed down to freshmen with the entrustment that they’ll continue building the program’s legacy and uphold excellence on the field. But what opportunities are left for those veterans to continue their play?

Cue the 2013 Harrow Cup.

The inaugural event is a post-collegiate women’s field hockey tournament with a $10,000 winner takes all cash prize. Eight teams will compete in the weekend long competition in Philadelphia, Pa. running from Friday, June 7 through Sunday, June 9.

Harrow Cup Schedule:

FRIDAY, JUNE 7 – Kick-Off Social at Ladder 15, 7-9 p.m.

No, you will not be reviewing film with your teammates the night before the tournament, instead Harrow will be hosting a Pre-Event Social at Ladder 15 in Philadelphia.  Teams will be able to enjoy discounted food and drinks while socializing with members from all teams. Uniforms and Equipment will be handed out as well as Team captain presentations.
