Announcements

• Tomorrow is Easterns. Let's get all teams watching each other if there is any time.
• We will have Men's jerseys tomorrow. Each jersey is $30, and you don't get it unless you have the cash or cheque (so bring the money). Numbers were not guaranteed, and preference always went to veterans.
  

Practice Review:

• Run, ABCs, stretch
• Lotto
• Huck for scores
• Scrimmage A vs. B.
  

In the scrimmage, I saw lots of good things. On the A side, we had a great first half with one turnover. This is probably due to our defense generating lots of early turnovers near the end-zone. We pulled the zone and hardest off in the second half, and still got lots of Ds. Unfortunately, our offense wasn't as crisp as it could have been. Handlers had a few bad dumps, cutters had a few throw aways, and handlers weren't active enough.

The B side looked shaky at the beginning. The hard defense might have shocked them early, and the zones required that all handles needed to be strong. In the second half, things got much better. On one point in particular, I was impressed by how long the handlers reset and moved the disc. Cutters on the other hand need to be more aggressive. Cut more! Use your lane in the horizontal since it is yours in the first place. It's somewhat better than sitting around for too long.

Overall, the B team should have improved confidence knowing what they are going to see, and knowing that they can play at that level. The A team should also feel good about some great defense and some nice O other than a few execution errors. Decisions were on par.

A-team Corner:

• We talked about improving our dumps, playing a tighter wall, defending a man in a zone area, and keeping the focus. I'm happy with this weeks progress, and excited to see what we can do at easterns.
