more lacrosse

as a i said last time, i'm starting to get pretty pumped for the season. we just found out this week that we're going to have three-hour saturday practices at the field house. and the best part about it...full pads and full contact. this is really awesome because it gives us a chance to get in game situations without having to go outside in the crappy weather. i was getting a little worried because we have our first game coming feb. 20th, and we wouldn't have been able to have much game-situation practice. i'm also excited because i get to go to ohio state this sunday for our league's scheduling meeting. this is the first meeting i am attending. i was told that i am almost certainly taking over the team in the next couple years, so it's necessary for me to go to this meeting to learn the protocol and whatnot. thinking about being the president of a university club sport is kind of overwhelming, but at the same time i am up for the challenge.

lacrosse season

i am starting to get pretty pumped up. on sunday, we had our first lacrosse workout/practice. after finishing up our workout portion, we got out our sticks and gloves and started throwing around, which was the first time we did this as a team since the fall season ended. we had an extremely successful fall season, losing only two games. so for the spring season, we're all aiming for a national championship. the past two years we've lost in the playoffs, and after this year we are losing a lot of key starters. so everyone realizes that this may be our best shot at winning it all. and after practice sunday, we're all starting to get pumped up and back into the winning mindset. should be good.
