We had our Maroon/Gold scrimmage on Friday night and we (the coaches) are even more excited about this season then ever. We really have some gamers on the team!! The teams were split pretty even and the scores (other then one set) were never more then a 4 point spread. If you watched the coaches video you can see that we were pretty giddy afterward and all of us had great things to say about the team.
At practice on Saturday we touched on some serving and hitting which we thought was the weakest part of our game on Friday night. Following the drills we did a couple team bonding activities. It is amazing what 19 people can come up with when you tell them they have to move the length of a volleyball court with only 15 hands or feet touching the ground while all staying interconnected! What is even more fun to watch is how 18 people lying on the floor can move a person (light as a feather, stiff as a board) over their heads the length of the vb court. If these girls didn't trust each other before, they do now!!
Coach B finally broke down and gave the team Saturday afternoon off and the whole day on Sunday! I am sure they didn't know what to do with all that non volleyball time!!
We'll be back in the gym in a couple hours here getting ready for our first match on Wednesday. If you can't make it here to Mo-Town, don't worry....you can catch all the action on our webcast at http://csn.morris.umn.edu/
Well, Mitch is here, so I guess I have to go work out now. TTFN
