Practice Review - Good

We had a good turnout yesterday ~ 8 veterans and 5 first years + 1 ex-UM.

We have a total of 10 returning veterans this year. The 2 veterans that missed practice - one was working part time, the other had academic classes.

As Carlsberg is around the corner, we tried to cover those things our players would need to know going into a competition, including important fundamentals (in-and-out moves, power lay-up/up fake, free throws), team defense (help defense, defense positions) and team offense (1st unit - Sets 1, 2 & 4; 2nd unit - Sets 2, 3 & 4).

Due to obvious time constraints, we could only cover the above briefly. Veterans will have to think back to last year's training and remember and remind themselves of the offensive sets.

Players themselves asked for another practice session this Friday. Provided it doesn't rain, we will need to cover Post entry pass (& cut to corner) & Re-post fundamentals as well as further reinforce the offensive sets.

Since Friday will be a day before the actual competition, Friday's session will be a light, "walk-through" session.
