Storm's First Practice

First practice of the regular CYO season for Hudson Storm (St Hyacinth Storm) will be this coming Saturday. YAY! 'bout time! Grace has been playing a lot of soccer in the local league and we've been going up to the middle school to shoot hoops and work on her game. I'm sure she will be ready for the upcoming season. This is the longest stretch, about a month, she has gone without playing any organized ball in the past year. She'll be hungry!

Considering whether or not to put her in the local St. Pat's intramural CYO league. She will probably want to play there because she has the past three years. Seems like a lot so we'll have to see. She loves doing it and it would be cool if she always does so don't want her to overload herself.

I'll try to get a video clip of the girl's first practice.

Defender 2 drops down to either defend the opposite low block or the wing if a skip pass is thrown. Defender 1 defends the high post area. Defender 3 can either sink in to stop penetration or apply pressure b...
