Practices Plans

So the Friday meeting went extremely well! The meeting went even better than I was expecting! Around twenty students showed up at the meeting, and I am expecting around fifteen students on the first day of practice. :)

So next Tuesday is the big day! It is the first official practice day of the season! This week I have mostly been brainstorming different ideas for the practices. I am still trying to decide whether or not to make the first day of practice simple/easy or hard/challenging. Any suggestions? I don't want to scare off some team members of the team if the first day of practice is too hard, but I don't want anyone quit if they think the practice was too easy. I'm going to talk to Mr. Tucker and see what he thinks.

I was thinking about having a quick one mile run and then have a few sprint exercises for Tuesday, but I still haven't completely decided yet. I would also like to be able to do some strength training exercises. (potentially for the Thurs practice too). I also want to make the warm-up stretches intense, which should be easy for me to come up with, because I am constantly stretching for dance classes.
