Local News Covers the Fight to Save TVUSD Girls’ Field Hockey
The movement to save girls’ field hockey at TVUSD high schools is gaining traction—and now it’s making headlines. A recent article from Patch details the school district’s decision to phase out field hockey, the community’s passionate response, and the potential Title IX concerns this decision raises.
According to the report, TVUSD administrators cited “fiscal, transportation, and instructional justification” for the elimination, favoring the addition of girls’ flag football and beach volleyball instead. However, players, parents, and coaches argue that removing one girls’ sport to add another is not a fair trade-off—especially for athletes who have trained for years in field hockey.
The article features powerful quotes from parents, athletes, and former Olympian Tiffany Huisman, who emphasizes that field hockey provides a unique opportunity for female athletes, including college scholarships. The piece also highlights the importance of the upcoming March 10th board meeting, where supporters will have the chance to make their voices heard.
