Sept 11 - Tryout 4 Review

Again, a good practice. Nice to see people running hard and laying it on the line. This is what we will need to do to win.

Announcement
  • Tula's annual Didn't Get Cut Party will be held SATURDAY at Steve and Lowell's place. SATURDAY, not Friday.
  • Team breakfast after practice tomorrow!

Review
  • Lotto: Two teams didn't finish in the 8 minutes. At this point we should have very little talk during the drill, running quickly to reset each time.
  • Throw for Score: Again we tried the triple cut. Run hard out, plant and make a SHARP cut in, making it a legit option for your handler. Plant again and bust ass out for the bomb. The first 3 steps of any cut are where you will lose your defender. Put your head down and give'r for a few, then look up for a read on the disc.
  • Scrimmage: Black wins 3-2. Big plays on both sides. Many Ds were had because the thrower did not commit to his dump. After looking up field for 2-4 stalls, square yourself with your dump and make eye contact. The reset handler should anticipate an early dump and start their cut appropriately. Patience on offense is a virtue. Dark was able to dump and swing many times, allowing handlers to hit a well timed cut.
  • Sprints: If you felt out of breathe doing this, you need to get into better shape. Aside from being a much more skilled, smart (and good looking) team than our opponents, we should be able to run them into the ground.
