In attendance: Andy, Shakey, Jaffe, Ellefson, Lawrence, Jake, Dave Hansen / Shimoni, Dave Chan, Mason, Calvin. Cricket, Kristine, Claire, Kerry, Rosi, Emily, Paula
What we did: Throw, jog, dynamics, sprints, talk about the season, controlled throwing, mark drill, V-drill, sideline drill, scrimmage.
Some points we made about drills:
The mark drill is designed to think about breaking, but only if you have the throw. As Lawrence said, a bad throw is just as bad as a hand block. You have a few seconds to try to get the break off, then you have an easy force-side throw as a bailout.
The sideline drill works on moving the disc off the sideline. Pretty obvious there, I guess, but it's often overlooked: You can do so much more if the disc is in the middle of the field. A dump/swing can open up so much more in terms of downfield options.
The V-drill was fuckin tough. Time to get in shape.
We had a couple people show up late, which is fine. Better late than not at all. And thanks for the phone calls beforehand ... good to have that communication. That said, let's all try our hardest to show up on time and ready to play.
Here's what should happen if you show up late: cleat up, jog, do some dynamics, sprints, and throws. Not just tosses, but controlled throws: 10 inside-out forehands, 10 outside-ins, then backhands, etc. Then find a partner and do the V-drill or a set of 20-10s. That's a sufficient warmup and should get you up to speed.
Uomo Donna next weekend!
