2014-15 JMU Field Hockey - 1

Welcome to James Madison University field hockey. As the head women’s field hockey coach it is with great pride that I share our program and university with you. It is an honor and a privilege to represent James Madison University!

Entering my first season back at the helm of the Dukes, I am con-vinced there is no better place than James Madison University for a young person to grow and learn as a student and as an athlete. Our coaches, student-athlete services staff, strength and condi-tioning coaches, sports medicine staff, communications staff, marketing staff and administration all work very hard to coordi-nate their efforts to provide the best possible experience for the JMU student-athlete. We’re up to something at JMU!

We have great people working together for a common goal: to be the best they can be.

As the coach of the field hockey team, I recruit individuals into our program who are able to commit to being the very best they can be in a team-oriented environment. Our goal every year is to be a nationally-ranked, top-ten program that competes in the NCAA tournament. To meet that goal, it is imperative that team needs come before individual needs and wants. It is also essential for the success of our program that we attract individuals who are willing to excel in the classroom as well as on the field. With over 100 majors to choose from, student-athletes at JMU have a large window of opportunity to graduate with a very powerful degree in addition to having had the opportunity to compete at the highest level possible within NCAA Division I field hockey.

With student-athletes who are willing to work very hard to excel both on the field and in the classroom as well as our “team around the team” firmly in place, the sky is the limit for JMU field hockey!

We are excited about the future for JMU field hockey and hope you will join us.

Yours in field hockey,

Head Coach Christy Morgan
