Level
Mara plays at the highest level possible in the youth Dutch competition (landelijk) with her team Zwolle U18-1. She is a versatile player who can play as a midfielder as well as a forward. Her team was able to make it all the way to the Dutch National Championship U18 last year.
She was also scouted to join the district team (North-East Netherlands) and train with the best players in that area. She also was selected for the Field Hockey Academy, which is a field hockey school that gives talented field hockey players the chance to learn from each other and develop their skills. Training is led by professional field hockey players.
On top of that, Mara has been allowed to play with the First ladies team of Zwolle who compete at one of the highest leagues in the Dutch women's league (Overgangsklasse).
Playing Style
Mara is a speedy midfielder who is the connection between the defenders and the forwards. She is great at attacking and likes to use the “give-and-go”. Her explosiveness allows her to surprise her opponent as she uses her speed to break away. She is also a technical player who can easily eliminate other players with 3D skills and fast stick handling. As a midfielder, she understands how to break the lines and open up the field. She is focused on winning and knows you have to score goals in order to win the game. She has a very strong backhand, scoring multiple goals from the left.
Academics
Mara is currently in her senior year of VWO. She is expecting to graduate in June, 2025. She is really excited to play in the U.S. and wants to win championships with her new team starting in the Fall of 2025.
