When do the LUXE's come in? Will they be available for this weekend?
Are we meeting at the hotel before practice or just going there after on Saturday?

After discussing with Matt and a few of the guys on the team, we put together a schedule of drills for practice this weekend.
First off, this weekend each of us will have 3 cases of paint: one case for drills Saturday and two for scrimmages Sunday. With limited paint for both drills and scrimmages, we will all be setting our guns to 11.5 bps. Realistically, this difference will be minor and we will get much more out of practice.
With the first case of paint (~13 pods) on Saturday, we will be dividing the drills up by number of pods per drill. Below is the schedule for Saturday:
Drills
If possible, meet at the hotel at 3. We will head to the field from there.
1. Warm up and stretch.
2. Run and Gun (2 pods): Running from corners up tape to sideline 50 shooting target at center of field.
3. 1 vs 1 Stationary Snap (1 pod): Basic 1 vs 1 gun fighting and watch each other/talk about different styles/techniques.
4. 1 vs 1 Small Field (2 pods): Basic warm up still focusing on sharp gun fighting but including moving.
5. 2 vs 2 Small Field (2 pods): Focusing on communication while including everything so far.
6. 2 vs 2 Race to 50 Snake/Dorito (2 pods): Starting 2 vs 2 in snake/dorito corner and snake/dorito feeder push up to 50 snake/dorito. Drill ends when someone reaches 50 snake/dorito.
7. 5 vs 5 Full Field (4 pods): Focus again on communication but as a full line and talking/relaying across field. Afterward we can talk about the layout and pros/cons about different bunkers/plays.
As long as things go well Saturday, we will keep the bps at 11.5 for Sunday.
Here are a few things we should all keep in mind for this first practice:
Teamwork
1. Listening to each other on and off the field:
Getting to know each other on the field will be huge. While drills are going on everyone should be involved to get a feel for how we all play.
2. Watching and learning from each other on and off the field:
Again, we will all benefit from getting to know how each of us plays.
3. Looking for opportunities to help each other on and off the field:
Everyone should be involved in helping each other out and focusing on how we can build solid lines. We all have a lot to bring to the table.
In short, regardless of individual skill, a team that cannot communicate and work together has little resistance against those that can.
Individual Skill
1. Gun fighting
2. Running and gunning
3. Reading the field and constructing break-outs/plays
We all have rust to shake off, so let’s start the season making good habits a habit.
Overall, I think the optimism everyone has shown so far has been well appreciated by everyone. 2012 is looking to be a good year.

OK as of right now in my trunk I have two bags of pods, one pod loader, and one stack of yellow road cones (or as Drew calls them "funnel-shaped gerbil tubes")...

I hope you boys are ready to run. This year we need to be able to play at 110% which means cardio.

Just as pumped as I was for the weekend I may have mandatory work as they're calling for 1-2+ inches of snow. I'm keeping Joel C. posted on this. I can usually find a fill guy for my truck but one of our employees recently had an accident
