Training Session #1 - The Icebreaker

Field Training | Tuesday, Aug 17 | 6:00PM - 7:15PM | 1/4 Field

Opening day of the 2021-2022 season!

With 1/3 of the team new, I wanted to have a sort of icebreaker session. Though 5 out of 6 of the new players have been around at our pre-season get togethers (Toni has been at camp for a few weeks and tonight was her first time around the girls since tryouts), there’s nothing like the first training session with a new team. And, in talks with many of them, they are nervous about being on this team/with this club.

And that’s natural, especially coming into a training environment as competitive as ours.

So I wanted a fun, energetic session to kick things off.

With 16 girls at training (Money sick, Gwynn traveling), I divided them into 4 teams of 4, for some relays, a 4x4 tournament, then some 8v8.

Can’t decide if it will be best (when it comes to explaining activities) to type everything out or post video. Today I got up at 2:15AM, couldn’t sleep, so went to work. It’s 7:15AM right now and I just got done rendering the video for upload.

The final videos are around 12 minutes long in total.

They took me 5 hours to put together.

Not sure that is sustainable.
