Just wanted as to update everyone on where we are at as a team in terms of practice.
We have started to go through round around robins of competition with one another to try to determine roster spots. Over the next 4 weeks we'll have about a dozen "challenge" types of matches. Each day will be a different style of competition. Day 1 was 10-point tiebreakers, today is 7-point tiebreakers, and tomorrow will be mini sets.
We'll devote 1 day per week to drills and instruction through the month of February. The other days will all be opportunities for the players to compete with one another for roster positions. Remember, there are 3 or 4 opportunities to move up each week. If you don't move today, there is nothing saying that you won't tomorrow. Come March, we should have our roster order fairly secure.
Also, it seems the flu bug is spreading through the school. PLEASE be very mindful at practice to not share cups. Ideally we should all be bringing a water bottle to practice each day so we don't have 20 little cups being left around. PLEASE make sure that you are being smart about your health at home and during school. Take 30 seconds between classes to wash your hands!
Our schedule is complete and is posted to the left. We have confirmed dates with Rock Hill high and I am happy to have our city rival as our last match of the season. I have also posted our roster to the site below the schedule.
Uniform order was placed on Friday February 6. The Nike rep has given me a 10-13 day turnaround on getting our group's order back to us. I'll let everyone know of any delays, but I am anticipating our stuff to arrive no later than February 20th.
Go Trojans!
