Saturday May 16 practice

We had: Andy x 2, Eric, Ryan, Nockels, Jee, Allie, Cricket, Taydro, Jasmine, Brittany (left)

We did: warmup, throws, 20-10s, in & out huck drill, scrimmage. 

I don't like doing 20-10s, but damn they're good practice. The thrower is constantly throwing to space, and the runner has to constantly focus and make good catches and throws. The quick stuff — throwing and going — is really good practice. I saw some pairs way too far apart. Remember, you should never be more than 15 yards from your thrower in this drill. 

We worked on timing of our cuts with the in & out huck drill. Also, quick movement: the initial thrower doesn't just watch the throw, he or she sprints up to the in cutter to get the disc back. Then the cutter going deep should be open on a deep cut. A couple times, the deep cutter took off too early and was too deep by the time the thrower was ready to throw. Also, this deep cut was often too angled. We're trying to cut almost directly out, not out at a 45-degree angle. But other than that, we had some really good connections. 

The scrimmage went well, once we figured out our cone situation. Cricket had some badass hucks — having our girls huck can completely change our game. Nice job everyone.
