Yesterday was a late night. We were finally dismissed at 10:30pm from the classroom session so we could get some sleep before we had to get up for 7:30 breakfast. We got our uniforms and gear yesterday. I'll try to get some pictures up soon!
Practice #1 - we started off the day with punting practice. There were two of us alternating through. We seem equally talented and inconsistent so I'm not sure a starter has been determined yet, but I definitely like the ball better than the IWFL ball. It's not much bigger, but a little fatter which makes it easier to kick. The practice field doesn't have yard lines, but I'm guessing we were kicking 35-40 yards most of the time.
Practice lasted 3 hours this morning. The heat index was 107 and it felt like it for a while. A much appreciated breeze picked up toward the end of practice. We went through a LOT of stuff in a 3 hour practice. There were 2-3 different breakout groups going at all times. Offense and defense were split so, not surprisingly, there probably won't be many people playing both ways. I practiced with defense as free safety. So far so good.
We have a few hours to eat, shower and rest before practice this afternoon. I'm a little burned and dehydrated, so I'm drinking water and will remember the sunscreen for practice #2.
