Thursday - Sept 7th - Review

Blogreads: 33
Guys: 21 - low
Girls: 8?
Pictured Above: The Tula team we took to UPA Sectionals last year.

Announcements: - Tryouts Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. A and B team selection Wednesday night. - Party Friday (next week TBD) - Everyone bring a white Discraft disc to practice. Disc checks will happen. Punishments will be handed out.
- Breakfast tomorrow after practice.

Practice:
- Run
- Stretch
- Lotto - 3 groups didn't finish on time = 15 burpees each. Effort needs to be made to reset the drills quickly.
- Fitness Shuttle Discs = 4 stages of cuts. Flick, Backhand, and Hammer
- 45s with situps and pushups. Kirk reported that our flick is significantly worse than our backhand.
- Cut runs - Good intensity everyone
- Scrimmage - Game one 5-3 win for white. 8 turnovers and 3 Ds with 2 of those being weak go tos by offense. 2-1 for black. One drop, one turnover. Good intensity and smart playing throughout the scrimmage.

Tryouts:
I'm just going to tell you what I'm looking for on the A team. From practices so far we have about 20 guys that I've seen good things from that merit A team potential.

Characteristics =
- Athleticism: General athletic skill
- Consistency: Catch and throw with consistency
- Decision: Make good decisions
- Focus: Pay attention and understand
- Commitment: Missing one of the three tryout dates shows lack of commitment. Missing these pre-practices also concerns me. We need to know which weekends you'll be free over the next month.
- Attitude: Hustle, Heart, working hard, and helping other people.
- Skill: Ultimate skill level
- Other valuable qualities: Respect, Leadership Qualities, Fitness etc.

Next, the reality of choosing a team is you have to look who your up against. For example, if you're a defensive handler then you need to be better than other people who would take that roll. Try and figure out some niche positions you will fit in, and assess your competition.

On Monday, expect to run for about half an hour+ and then play in scrimmages. Expect to get a playbook on Monday night and be expected to run those plays for Tuesday. On Tuesday, we will run, then play mini games (3 on 3), football style play run, and then full scrimmage. On Wednesday, we will run and then scrimmage while moving players.
