[UCCBball] Training

[tommo at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au]

Hi everyone,

I've made it pretty clear that I think we could use some training.  
Obviously it's going to be tricky to find a time/day/location that  
everyone on the team can make it, but I'm hoping we can get at least 5  
people to train each week (obviously 5 is good as it makes up a full  
on-court team).

So, after talking to a few people after the game on Saturday, it's  
sounding like Wednesday evening from 6-7pm might be the best option.  
There's a publicly accessible court on Kingsway in Nedlands, right  
next to the primary school, which should make it especially easy to  
access for me, Alwyn, Olly, James and (if he'd like to join us) Dunc.  
I'm hoping that Dave and Chas can also manage to get there. By the  
sound of it, Accy will generally be a no-show. Not sure about Kieron  
or Evan, but I'd assume something similar.

In my opinion, there are three main areas of our game we need to work  
on - rebounding/boxing out, offensive structure/cutting and proper  
defensive stance. After discussing it with Chas, I agree with his  
standpoint that the best approach would be to focus on one of these  
things until we get the hang of it, and then move on to the next one.  
Hopefully there'll be enough time between now and winter comp for us  
to completely cover all three. Obviously there's always other areas in  
which we can improve, but I think these are the ones that will make  
the biggest difference.

So, how about we try to get this happening on a weekly basis, starting  
from next week? Who can manage that?

Tom.
