Summer League

Game7 7th grade.... 7th grade already, really? Game7 7th grade girls are participating in the Northsport summer league in Northport. The first game is this evening and I know GraceAnne is looking forward to it! She created a workout routine with ballhandling and shooting that she's been doing every day the past two weeks in the driveway. Hopefully all of her hard work pays off this evening!

The other thing I'd love to see from her tonight is a smile. She's been too stressed out and serious about the game lately. Has fun in practice but games get her crazy. Trying to get her back to having fun. Maximum effort but having a good time... after all, it's a game and at her age it better be fun or I'm not exactly sure what the point is.

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...
