My Week with Scam Pt. 2

Alright, so apparently this won't just write itself whilst i facebook creep everyone.
FINE
Wednesday:
Pretty lackadaisical day today. They weren't really supposed to have practice, but It was beautiful so why not? We had about 13 today so after warm-ups we split into 3 teams. From then on out we played diamond. Pretty much all that this game means is that we try to knock over nalgenes. It's fairly straight forward and just demonstrates the purpose of switching the point of attack, useful for endzone drills, but also shitty since we are aiming for something inches off the ground. (Note: My team lost once the entire practice. played about 20 games :)) <-- god damn close parentheses emoticons

Thursday:
Real day of practice!
OK so on tuesday I forgot a drill that we did, I only remember because i thought we were going to do it again today, but we did another drill by the same name; "the box drill"

Version 1: 3 vs 3 in a 10-15 by 10-15 yard box. 10 passes = 1 point, game to 5.
That would've taken forever so we played a game to 2. Dasky is still really good.

Version 2: A line is formed behind each cone placed in a square. The disc starts at one cone and the first person in line at that cone cuts out diagonally of the square and to the cone next to the one they started at, where the thrower meets them with the disc. The cutter is now the thrower and this loops around the square until completion (generally 15 completed passes in a row) and then reverses so you get forehands and backhands.

From here we moved onto reinforcing vert stack (they have a tournament this weekend). This drill ran pretty smoothly, one thing I liked is that they had one person maintain the front of stack position and had people cycle in behind said person.

Next was an S-cut drill: One person starts by receiving the disc via making an upline cut, the was-thrower cuts out, then back in as if making another upline and then busts out receiving a huck from the new-thrower. Run through this a bunch and then switch sides of the field to practice forehands and backhands.

Last up was everyone's favorite drill: GO TO!!!
Lots of people didn't go to all the way... This just defeats the purpose. Getting to 15 took forever. We did forehand, backhand, and then breaking on both sides. Note: it is really tough to break people who know exactly where you want to put the disc.

Good week of practice. Can't wait to get back and get the GUNX going again.
Great week of fun with SCAM, learned a lot about the game.
Can't stop. Won't stop.
