Practice Nov 5, 2009

Hi Girls,

Nice practice today. We are showing some good signs. Making my most impressive list for practice today was Jamie and Meredith. Honorable mention to Lyndsay and Lindy. Actually all you girls did well.

Do not take it personally when I point out something you or we as a team does not or did not do well. It is my job to push you to reach the limits of your full potential. I have not seen anyone on this team that I do not think can play alot better than we are playing right now. As a matter of fact we will have to get better, , both individually and as a team. Our competition is working everyday to get better and if we do not continue to improve everyday we will be losing ground.

Focus hard on making layups and short shots going to the basket. Also focus on the foul line and the shots you might get from our offense. Work on shooting them in practice.

I have been working on our Zonebusters team and our all out pressure team called Bandits. Right now the Zonebusters are:

Jamie, Alex, Casey, Lindsay on the perimeter and Lindy or Meredith down in the post.

Our Bandit team:

Jamie, Jessie, Lindsay, Lindy someone yet to be named. These team are not written in stone but if I had to use them today this is who would be on the court.

You girls are tearing up the points game. Next time it is 45 points.

I have some very simple plays to use in the Passing offense, I will tell you about them later.

All you new girls talk to girls from the team last season and figure out what size pants and what size shirt you need for our warm up uniforms.

I will also start a list for Practice jerseys and I will try to find out what numbers are available in what sizes so we can see who needs hoodies. Until we all have practice jerseys please wear a basically white shirt to practice, beleive me it will help this team practice better if we can tell who is on each squad.

Play Hard, Play Smart and Play Together.
