Well, the second half of the season (and what we refer to here as basketball pre-season)is underway at Northland. The Lady Pioneers returned to campus Thursday night and hit the courts Friday morning for a two-hour practice, and again in the afternoon for two hours. We will practice again Saturday and Monday for four hours, and Tuesday morning for two before playing again Tuesday night. All total, we will practice for 32 hours and play 6 games before the rest of the students return. We spend much of the time in conditioning and getting reacquainted with the play book. We also get accustomed to new players and adjusted to players that aren't here. It really takes a great deal of concentration to focus for that many hours on basketball, but that's part of the training. The first couple of days are the most difficult, but then the time flies and before we know it everyone is here and the girls are in classes again. When we're not on the court, we try to do some fun things to build unity. There is already a bowling night, tubing night and Wii tournament planned. There will be some spontaneous things along the was well!
I'll try to keep you updated with news and pictures over the next few days as we progress. In the meantime, thanks for reading (and Roll Tide!).
