Practice Guidelines

Practices should be designed with the objective of preparing a team physically, technically, and mentally for game competition. Pay attention to detail. Precise execution and footwork are vital. It is imperative to start building correct habits and techniques from the start. Physical habits do not change in a game. Practice makes perfect is only true if the proper mechanics are being employed. No nice tries! Insist on proper execution at all times.
