Week One

Day Two... We shifted practice to our new field next to our school. The grass just got planted in early August and although it has grown in 90-ish %, it is not full and vibrant. Our original plan was to keep everyone off it for the fall to give it a chance to grow, but recess for our elementary grades did not go well on the concrete, so they have been using it for a week now. That, plus our run ins with the locals on Monday, lead us to give our field a try. It is nice to have a fenced in yard, but the wear and tear we will inevitably create worries me a little.

We now have 10 players aboard, two 8th graders from last year's squad, and two more 8th graders. We should pick up a few more before the week is over.

Day Three... Picked up one more player to make 11 on the roster.

Day Four... Rain. Picked up one more player. Stayed inside for an hour and watched instructional video.

Starting out much slower this year than last year. There are still a few more kids to hit up about joining the team. We have two weeks left of practice before our first game and we have a lot of ground to cover to be ready for a game. Hopefully, we can build some momentum or excitement next week.
