JUMBOS JOIN BIG SISTERS OF GREATER BOSTON FOR FIELD HOCKEY CLINIC

MEDFORD -- The Tufts University field hockey program, directed by Coach Tina McDavitt, ran a volunteer field hockey clinic event for the Big Sisters of Boston on Saturday, July 21 at Tufts University's Bello Field.

Sixteen children and mentors from the Big Sister Association of Greater Boston came to Medford to learn how to play field hockey. Each child was given a field hockey stick, ball, and shin guards.

Since 1951, Big Sister Association of Greater Boston has been helping girls reach their full potential through positive mentoring relationships with women. Big Sister is the largest mentoring organization in Greater Boston exclusively serving girls, covering 69 cities, town and communities.

"We had a great day," McDavitt said. "It was a positive experience for everyone. The children had a lot of fun, it was meaningful to our players and coaches and we promoted the great game of field hockey."
