Jee, Flaimy, Allie, Rosi (hurt)
We did: warmup, dynamics, buildups, controlled throwing, new (but unimproved) mark drill, snake drill, huck drill, 3-on-3.
We tried a new version of the mark drill. The idea is to better simulate a game scenario, but I'm not sure we accomplished that. Really, this is more of a warmup drill than anything else. The idea is pretty simple: The mark is trying to stop a break, and the thrower is trying to get one off.
The snake drill went pretty well — even when the wind picked up, it made us focus even harder on making better throws and catches. This drill works on quick throws and quick cuts while still maintaining control. Like Shakey says, "Be quick but don't hurry." Especially in the wind, if you don't stop your cut, plant your feet, step out and get low on the throw, you won't make a good throw. And, as always, we're running through discs on our cuts.
The huck drill was also affected by the wind, but we made the most of it. Good throws to space. On the cuts, if the disc was floating, we talked about timing your jump to catch the disc at the highest possible point. That's good practice in any drill, especially trying to read a swilly disc in the wind.
The 3-on-3 felt like a constant fast break for both sides. It reminded me of the quick-turn drill we did last Wednesday. Give-and-goes worked well. We had a couple silly drops, something we can each work on eliminating. With the smaller field, "hucks" weren't really an option, although we did have some nice throws to the back of the endzone. Lots of touch was required.
We established a new rule: IF YOU'RE HURT, DON'T PLAY. Please still come out to practice (Be cool like Rosi!). But if you tweak something or for whatever reason can't go 100 percent, don't feel obligated to be the 7th on the line. It's up to each individual to make the decision, but please, please don't push yourself and aggravate an injury. You are by no means letting the team down by not playing in the scrimmage.
Big news coming up on Potlatch a Saturday cookout after practice.
