The room is about one-quarter of the size of an actual field hockey field. The lack of a field to practice on is one of the biggest obstacles the team has to face. In this regard, team members' attempts to gain access to the Kennedy Fields, which are located near the Korean War Memorial and governed by the U.S. Park Service, were unsuccessful even though the fields appear to go unused. Team members have exhausted all of the possibilities for field space that they could think of. Ms. Navin mentioned that Recreation Sports was not responsive to the team's request for assistance with this.
Funding is another obstacle for the team.
Funds are required for uniforms, referees, tournament fees, travel expenses, among other things. Other equipment is provided by individual team members. The club would like to reduce member dues for next year, however, this does not seem feasible since the league has expanded which means more travel, more referees, etc. Dave Watermulder then provided Subcommittee members with an overview of the ultimate frisbee club sport. Ultimate frisbee is usually played on a football field.
