COMMENTS
New season high expectations. We haven’t started the season as we have hoped, but we are learning our strengths and weaknesses. The team has been working hard at practices and the hunger to compete is there. Competition was tough in our bracket at West Branch. Our matches last Thursday were cancelled due to the heat which didn’t allow us to get that game experience before playing tough teams this weekend. We got better as a team throughout the day, but unfortunately cost us some matches getting there. Our offense at times is unstoppable, but one of my goals for this year was to re-load and take care of the basics. Our passing and serving game was not at the level for success this weekend. Our communication level that broke down allowed for opportunities for our opponent. We will continue to work on figuring out what works best for our team and continue to improve. Our next match is at EBF on Aug. 29 which is Parent’s night. Our Record is 2-3.
