Tough Break Fast Break

Wow,

Tough Break on the Fast Break, let's make a slide.

I'm sorry to announce for any of you whom may not know, that Dartmouth U13 beat us on our home turf this past Sunday (April 13).  8 points to our 5.  I could see the disappointment in many of your faces :(.  But fret not, you really put on a show of style and ability that made all those spectating either happy or proud.  Standing next to the sub box is a very interesting place to stand as coach.  During the game I was happy to hear the voices of the players off field expressing their support, joy and frustration for players on the field.  Your enthusiasm and focus was both invigorating and encouraging.


Dartmouth Beat us simply because of a couple of dropped ball transitions, accompanied by well executed fast breaks.  It's up to us to work on how we are gonna defend against these fast breaks.  Also we need to spend some energy looking at goosing the ball.  So when we have a dropped ball and scooping through (like in a ground ball scenario) is not an option we can redirect the ball to an attack/midi and prevent the transition.


So for Tuesdays practice you can expect to see some basics, some more basics and probably some basics, along with working the slide.  Communication is gonna be key from this point on! (as if it wasn't already).


You players should be sure and keep your heads up!  It was a tough game and everyone worked hard and put in an excellent effort!  I personally couldn't be happier to see you come together and work as a team.  All the little details that will enable a win will keep coming together with every practice and game that we put behind us.


Thanks For a Great Sunday and best wishes to Coach John L. as he undergoes surgery on his achilles tendon this Tuesday.

Hats off to all the BYL Players, their Fans and their Coaches.

Peace and Lax.

Coach Josh.
