Practice (4/8)

We had two practices last week. Actually one of them was cut short because the lights aren't working at McCarren Park. This past Saturday, April 8, we practiced in the cold rain at Prospect Park for about an hour. The conditions were rough so we just did a few drills to get people moving and throwing, then we played the completions game (4v4, 8 completions equals a score). One of the drills we did was something Dusty and I learned several years ago from University of Illinois players at Cooler in Milwaukee. It's a good warm up drill that gets players a lot of quick touches on the disc and gets their heart-rate up. I think we'll have them do it before Sectionals.

I don't remember learning anything in Milwaukee. Ever.

Refresh my memory?

Those 3 Illinois dudes at Cooler... they did that drill where two of them would stand about 15 yards apart. A third player would throw to one of them, then follow their throw and get 3 short give-and-go passes while running a tight circle around him, then throw to the other player, sprint down and repeat. I've always liked that one.
