Princeton Drop-off

Dropped Gracie off at Princeton camp yesterday. She and Grace Stone are on the same team this year, the Columbia Lions, and Megan Bowen is their coach. They are staying in a beautiful dorm room this year. They are having fun already if the txts from last night are any indication. I'll be going down on Friday to catch their games and pick them up. Looking forward to seeing Jadwin gym again!



Sunday they had another great workout at Game7 in Rockville Centre. This Sunday will be the last session of Game7 Bootcamp for the time being. Grace will be attending the Kim Barnes Arico girl's basketball camp at St John's next week. Lightning will have some practices and open gyms starting on the 30th and Grace will be participating in a playground league under the lights at Stanco Park in Glen Cove.

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...
