Natties Bitches!!!

Last practice we had like 28 people and I was very encouaged about that. Some of us were getting a little bit worried about the lack of commitment that we had on the team. I was talking to High Release Steve about our ambitions of making it nationals this year and he brought up some really good points. He told me that while we do have an awesome team, we don't deserve to make it to nationals. We have what it takes but some of the guys on our team don't want it enough. While teams like Florida or Iowa are able to get numbers everytime they have practice, we have to rely on the girls team to in order to get a scrimmage going. If this continues to be the case, we can kiss our nationals hopes goodbye. We'll settle for mediocrity and never know what could have been.

Hopefully people will start to realize that we have something special in the making and we need everyone at practice in order to make some progress. Every practice from now on will be a learning opportunity. There is so much that we still have to cover and very little time to do it. As of right now we are still having to go over the basics such as not getting beat force side, or not getting broken. And until the whole team understands this concept, we cannot move forward. Our team still has so much to go over such as our handler motion, defensive strategies, offensive strategies, and our sick nasty cup that we will be using. Every practice you miss from now on will not only set you back but also set the whole team back because we have to take time and reexplain everything.

Nationals is definitely not a given! It will take a full team effort to even contend at regionals and that is why it is so important that we work hard now so that four months from now, we will be in a position to achieve our goal. The top players on our team are some of the best players in the region and we need to realize our potential. Please make it out to practice!!!!!
