Pinnacle Field Hockey

More #

Tamer started playing field hockey in seventh grade because her mom started a very successful program in her hometown and she needed to play a second sport. She only started playing club because over a Thanksgiving weekend, she had a choice of traveling with her dad to her brother's ice hockey tournament or with her mom and sister to the National Hockey Festival in California. She decided to go to California and since she was going figured she might as well play too. She contacted her club coach, Nancy Cox, and she gave her a spot, even though she decided very late to join.

Tamer said she is grateful to both her mom and Nancy for giving her those two opportunities that were integral in her journey.
