01/31/06 Playbook

Our first playbook meeting was a success. Just about everyone showed up, even those that had not been to the last practices, like Bethany and Marianna. We went over the butterfly cut, dump cuts, and dump cut continuations. Everyone seemed to like the new stuff we were paid attention and some of the older players asked questions, which was a good sign because it meant they were paying attention. The meeting might have been a little intimidating towards the new players, but they did not show it. Zac and I struggled with how in depth we really wanted to go, because we did not want to scare anyone off.

One of the cooler parts of the meeting was when we played some of the highlights from Ultivillage's Disc 4, from last year's Open Club Nationals. It is great that everyone responded positively to the intensity and competition, because we will need to teach our players to be more aggressive on the field.
