Rain Rain Go Away!

Braving the elements on seems to be the theme of this preseason. Thursday morning the team got a thorough rinsing, several times. The training session was about transition as much as it was splashing through puddles. Despite the challenges provided by the soggy surface the Hornets put in a lot of work finding targets and moving from end to end. The morning ended with a little bit of fitness and then lots of drying out. Thursday afternoon was still overcast but the team only had to deal with a couple of sprinkles. Attackers worked with Coach Goyings on perfecting their finishing in and around the box. Meanwhile Coach Carlson did some small technical work with the GK's and Coach Wells and the defense worked on shape. The last part of practice consisted of a 9v9 scrimmage to goal, with several quality finishes from the forwards and midfielders. There is still plenty of work to be done but it appears that the Hornets are beginning to make some progress.
