Review for United Women's Ball Hockey Foundation, Winthrop, MA, USA
I consider myself a UWBHF ("U Dubs") junkie. For me, U Dubs creates spaces where I can get together with wonderful like-minded athletes, create friendships, compete, learn how to be a better ball hockey player, teammate, person. They host my favorite ball hockey tournaments and I will not miss one! The tournaments are friendly, joyful, competitive and have introduced me to so many players and playing opportunities that I otherwise would not have had. Their ability to unite female players from around the country at a single event is special. I have learned so much from the informational "march madness" hockey drills-- they are so dedicated to coaching that Coach Karen provided free instructional information to individual players to help them to improve at their game. During COVID when communities were physically separated , U DUbs took the reigns and held monthly zoom events on topics relevant to female ball hockey players. I loved and participated in every single one of them, learning about nutrition, sports recovery, mental strength, all while bonding with like-minded athletes. I have learned so much from the U Dub leadership and have enjoyed being part of a community-minded group!
