Practice Schedule for the Week
Coaches have the right to adjust the schedule as they see fit, so make sure you are getting whatever communication comes from your program. Many of our programs have varying time schedules for practice as all our programs work together to maximize practice space and utilize our facilities equally.
Booster Club Update
Our Booster Club Board is small but mighty! We can use all the help, so if you are interested in supporting our student athletes and the Boosters efforts, let us know and we can get you connected. There are plenty of opportunities to help and even if you think your skillset is not useful, we can find a way to make it useful!
The Booster Club handles all things concessions which is the single largest source of income for our athletics budget. FCPS does not supply a yearly budget, so outside of buses and officials, we have to fundraise for everything else. The Boosters and their efforts, allow us the ability to purchase all the things that our student athletes need and want. Some of their recent purchases include the windscreens around our facilities, the baseball turtle and supporting our youth clinics.

Notes From Our Programs
Stay tuned for Amazon wish lists for all our programs in the near future. We have requests from the community to provide ways that our programs can be supported in small, subtle ways. All programs that would like to be involved and included will be tasked with providing a link to their wishlist to provide to the community.
Our football team has one game left - Senior Night at Hayfield Friday night.
Our cheer team finished 5th in the Region.
Our field hockey team completed their season with the most wins in a long time with a very young team and have a lot to be proud of.
Boys and girls volleyball are starting their region tournaments with the boys hosting and the girls on the road.
Gavin Zais from our cross country team finished 5th at regions and qualified for the State Cross Country meet.
Our girls flag football team is currently undefeated in Fairfax County Public Schools and has claimed a playoff berth in the first year of its existence with a week to spare.
Winter sports will start with tryouts on November 10th. If you are interested in trying out, make sure you have an up to date VHSL Physical turned in and the Arbiter registration completed online!
Introducing Hawkeye!
Our amazing students, staff and community members have spoken and after the thousands of votes were tallied, our mascot will now be known as …. HAWKEYE! Thank you to all that voted and suggested names! Make sure you hug, high five or take a picture with Hawkeye when you see them out at events!
Coach Drickey’s Thoughts and Ramblings
I urge you to take advantage of our Booster Club passes and gain entrance to all home regular season contests for the price of your membership. With that in mind, the expectation is that fans are coming to support and cheer for our team and our students, while making sure that we don’t make negative comments to officials or our opponents.
We are excited for our student athletes to demonstrate their success on the field and excel in the classroom, as we chase district, region, and state championships. Our goal is to make Hayfield THE school in Northern Virginia, Virginia proper and the entire country.
Fall pictures have been released to us and are ready for purchase. If you have any questions, please contact sports@vosphoto.com and they will be happy to answer your questions.

I will leave you with this thought from Tom Seaver of the New York Mets, “my theory is to strive for consistency, not to worry about the numbers. If you dwell on statistics you get shortsighted, if you aim for consistency, the numbers will be there at the end.” We ask our student athletes to strive to do the right things day in and day out. The closer we get to that outcome, the more likely we are to experience the levels of success they and their teams want on the courts, fields, mats, tracks, floors and pools.
Together, we will see lots of success this Fall! We look forward to our athletes, coaches and supporters winning on the field and in the classroom with class and HAWK PRIDE!
