Some pictures from last night's practice

Team Meeting

Perfect body check..head up, sholders square, hands to the center of the chest.  SWEET!

One of these guys has better form than the other.  On ground balls you need a good stance, head over the ball and to get your back hand low!

Encourage your kids to keep their back elbow up when throwing, it'll help a lot.

Thanks for the pics Sara! 

Practice this Sunday at Pine Ridge Middle School.  I are going to move the practice time up one hour, it is now 9-11.  The reason is that there is a lacrosse game at FGCU at noon.  The admission is free and it is some pretty good lax.  If you can, please take some folding chairs and go with your sons to check it out.  It's a lot easier for the kids to understand the game when they see it first hand. 

I wanted to remind all parents that if your child shows up without any piece of their protective gear they will not be allowed to step on the field.  This means they must have a helmet, gloves, arm protection, a mouth piece and I strongly encourage you to make them wear a cup.  Too many are showing up unprepared and instead of sending one to the hospital, I'm going to send them off the field.

Joe and I will be splitting the boys into teams and will have them divided by Sunday's practice.  Sorry it has taken so long.  As I'm sure you're aware of, we have a lot of kids...really a lot of new kids that we didn't already know.  So instead of just dividing and potentially having a stacked team we wanted to try to get to know the boys.  Hopefully they will be pretty equally divided in the end.  I know some of you requested to be grouped with a specific other kid.  Please email me again if you did as I get so many emails and I have 4 email accounts, there's no way I'm going to find the requests.  This is not a guarantee I can make it happen, but I'll take a look and TRY to accomodate.
