Week of 3/1 - 3/8 Schedule

Great practice Sunday night! Now we know that we're not allowed to go beyond stipulated time limits, or they take the light away.

We're improving in our individual skill sets, and thus directly improving our team.

Getting a field during the week wasn't really a possibility - a lot of competition for fields as we inch closer to practice games, and the 8:00 p.m. practice thing simply doesn't work. So, our next official practice will be:

Sunday, March 8th, 6:30 p.m. @ McCambridge #2 (Don't forget to Spring Forward on Saturday night/Sunday morning)

Followed by:

Wednesday, March 11th, 5:00 p.m. @ McCambridge #1 (I understand with work schedules, this earlier time may present an issue - I'm not expecting anyone to leave work early, however, if you needed an excuse to do so, there you go. You can tell your boss it's my fault.)

In the meantime - I am calling On Deck as soon as they open today about a Thursday night hit-around. I'm hoping to reserve an hour of time, and if everyone would chip in just a few bucks, that would cover costs. Check back later, or tomorrow for Thursday night details.

You need to do something everyday to increase your skill set. That may be as simple as going over your throwing motion (perfect technique we've talked about) 100 times in your bedroom. Or taking 100 perfect swings (you don't have to do them all at once) outside! Here's a video breaking down a swing, and this is the way we want you to start swinging. You can work it nice and slow like the video, then put it all together in one smooth motion - remember to keep that head on the ball!
