So I went to my first 7s practice of the season yesterday. I hadn't been attending because I was preparing for our warm up match in Kansas City, but can't stay away any longer! I LOVE IT!! I love the thinking, passing, patience and beauty of 7s. Last night we worked on our LONG LONG passes (with a few bounces...haha) and then the swing ling. We also worked on our super secret line out play...ok its not really a secret, I just wanted to say that.
We are also entering two teams into the Dallas tournament this weekend as we have had such solid numbers for practice. We have about 6 new girls and they all seem pretty excited and pumped!!
