Last Week's Games Recap
The 8th grade girls came out of the week 2-1, defeating Foley and Fairhope, but unable to finish the week's winning streak with Bay Minette. While the 8th grade girls fought hard against Bay Minette, our physical weaknesses were consecutive serves, setting touches, and rotation errors. We will work to improve those weaknesses at Wednesday's practice by practicing the following drills: Drill of 15, Mental Toughness Drills, and Drill of 11.
I'm very proud of the 7th and 8th grade girls; it was a mentally and emotionally exhausting week for all the girls.
Our Game and Practice Schedule is as follows:
- Tuesday: Perdido (Home-Purple Jerseys)
- *Wednesday: Practice until 4:30 (7th and 8th grade)
- Thursday: Central Baldwin (Away-White Jerseys) - leave at 4:10 p.m.
- *Friday: No practice
- Saturday: 8th grade Tournament at SFMS @8:00
**From now on, we will practice every Wednesday until 4:30, and will have no practices on Friday. This change was made because of the addition of the new, 7th grade coach. Now, each girl can receive the quality of practice they need; thus lowering quantity of practices per week.
