Lightning Open Gym

Coach Allen Hudson held an open gym for the girls last night at Glen Cove High School. All the Lightning teammates were there as well as a few friends and one Storm teammate. The girls ran a full court scrimmage and seemed to have a lot of fun. These are some of the things they really need to do. When they play so many organized games it's good to see them have to figure out some things on their own. It was fun to watch and it looked like everyone was having a good time. Hopefully we can do it again soon!



GraceAnne was a little banged up from playing with boys at the Game7 camp all week and she took a few shots last night as well. Seemed ok this morning but she has her little tues/thurs playground game tonight after a full day at Game7. We'll have to see if she wants to do it or not.

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...
