USA Field Hockey has announced the 2010-2011 Futures Elite team and seven Maryland players have been selected from those who compete in the Under-14, 16 and 19 age groups from across the country.

Christina Conrad from Fallston, Christine Galligan from Archbishop Spalding, Danielle King from C. Milton Wright and Alyssa Parker from Glenelg were the local picks. Dana Allaband, Rising Sun, Anna McQuaid, Sts. Peters and Paul and Taylor West from Pocomoke round out the Maryland selections.

The Futures Elite players are identified and selected based on their performance at each year's National Futures Championships or the AAU Junior Olympics and represent the best high school field hockey athletes in the country.

Being a member of the Elite group allows each player to try out for the team that will compete in the June 2011 Junior Women's National Championship.
