Spring Season 2010– Week 2
As spring season flies by we approach our tournament- it’s bittersweet. Today one teammate even said, “Wow, we’re in our third week already?!” Time has truly flown by. Each week our skills increase and bonds grow stronger. We have moved past practicing basics to incorporating more advanced skills.
Practices, whether at 7am or 8 at night, are always eventful. Last week coach was sick (hope you’re feeling better Jess), and thankfully our volunteers & Midge ran practice. The drills were so fun and different from what we are used to – nice ideas Daniel! It was a great experience to practice our skills in new ways. Our volunteers are constantly helping the team (Thanks guys!); they teach us new tricks and help perfect our old ones. We’re a lucky bunch – love our volunteers! As the weeks have gone by I have noticed each person improving, our hits are hard and low, our zone is getting stronger each day, and each player is becoming more versatile. Like our new mission says, “We play to win through our dedication, discipline, and confidence.”
We have all finally gotten in our groove of being able to balance field hockey and school work. Even though the week is busy, it’s always fun. Sadly spring season will be coming to a close soon and finals will begin – at least we still have 2 weeks left. Luckily, before finals start we meet the incoming freshmen at The President’s Tea (next weekend already?) and are reminded of field hockey fun to come. We’re really looking forward to meeting our future teammates… any chance to take our minds off school and reminisce about FHOCing! It will also be a fabulous chance to become friends with them, then later stalk them on Facebook… just kidding ;-) We are all super excited to meet the new girls and start season again. I have a feeling summer is going to fly by just like this spring has been … we’ll all be back in pre-season before we know it.
