OPINION OF THE COURT

SLOVITER, Chief Judge.

Can high school field hockey be considered a contact sport? The district court held that it could not as a matter of law. On this ground and others, we disagree with the trial court's entry of summary judgment against the School District, and remand because there are material fact issues to be resolved.
