Sunday June 5th - Practice 1

Going into camp we knew we would be adjusting our plan based on how the girls learned and applied our teaching, and how their fatigue levels were as 2 practices a day for 5 days is exhausted for not only the athletes but the staff as well. You can nit emphasize enough the importance of getting proper rest - napping between practices and of course at night as well.

Our first practice was Sunday night, which was a travel day for more than half of the athletes. The travel day combined with a high level of anxiety made our first practice average in terms of energy. The practice included a lot of review from our Easter camp, so most things were familiar however we were not as sharp as we would've liked. We were happy with the first practice but we quickly discovered that we would not be able to overload our athletes with too many options and sets in the quarter court. We will have to be selective with what we decide to use from our original technical package, and as planned continue to emphasize the importance of our defense and creating easy scoring opportunities off of our defense.
