Present: Andy, Shakey, Ian, Andy, Shimoni, Lawrence, Mason, Eric. Late: Nockels. Left early: Mav
Jee, Paula, Flaimy, Claire. Cheerleaders: Bala & Mohini.
What we did: Warmup, throwing, sideline drill, huck drill, scrimmage.
Lawrence's sideline drill: one person marking for five throws. One person on the sideline shouts "Strike!" or "No break!" when a cutter goes break side or open side. This was a great way practice our communication. Remember that when you're marking, you're not just watching the thrower and adjusting your body position, but you're also listening to teammates on the field and off. A strike call near the endzone can save us a point.
Huck drill: We had some problems reading hucks at Uomo Donna, so we're gonna try to work on this at lots of practices. It was super windy this day, but it's good to practice going up for discs in the wind. We also noticed that it was better to throw early and let the disc hang than to wait too long.
A really important thing we noticed: all our girls had REALLY good hucks. I mean, despite the wind, everyone had a couple of on-the-money puts. Sometimes our girls tend to shy away from making the big throws in a co-ed game, but this shouldn't be the case. Keep hucking, ladies!
Practice on Saturday was blown out — plus a lot of our players were at college regionals. But starting next week, we're going two practices a week: 4:30 Wednesday, 11 am. Saturday. And we're starting ON TIME.
Time to bring the A-Game.
