Commitment: Field Hockey Turf Field

Casady Athletics has gained tremendous momentum with the announcement by the Board of Trustees to move to the OSSAA. This realignment, coupled with the reaffirmation of the School’s commitment to the Field Hockey and Boys’ Volleyball programs with an Associate Membership in the SPC, has set the pace for future generations of Cyclone student-athletes. 

This reaffirmation to our Cyclone Field Hockey program and to our 26 SPC Field Hockey Championships in our 70-year history was all that we needed to further support Casady School in this new level of Field Hockey. With it, we all recognize the evolution of the sport on a larger scale, both within our competitor schools in the SPC and on a collegiate level. We’re especially encouraged by this increased level of competition and the Cyclone momentum we see. Since the 1990s, we’ve had 30 student-athletes move on to play in college. 

Our commitment to maintaining a competitive Field Hockey program now and in the future means that we need to have a world-class environment and a water-based turf field for our girls to train and play. Currently, only five teams out of 16 in the SPC practice and play on turf, and Casady is the only school in Oklahoma to have such a facility. Our commitment to developing skills is in our DNA and our mission statement, and this commitment to the Field Hockey program facilitates a smooth transition for our college-bound field hockey players. As a signature athletic program, it is important that we continue to provide our players with opportunities to be competitive.

As coaches, we are in unanimous support of this particular evolution of Casady’s Field Hockey with a water-based turf field for both practice and competitive play, while we recognize the historical value of the field that was originally planted by Joanne Woolsey. We rejoice in this strong foundation and celebrate the future of this program. 

Casady School is ensuring the next generation of Cyclone Field Hockey players are preparing for accelerated SPC competition while supporting those who aspire to play in college. 

Please join us as we move bravely into the future while remaining faithful to our past. Yesterday, today, and always we are forever a Cyclone!
