Great news and more growth

This weeks preseason practice was the best yet. We have had 3 new players join the team and show up for practice. Some of the coaches have taken these new people under their wing so they can try to get them up to speed with some of our veteran players. On an even better note we were notified that one new team had joined the league and possable two others will be joining. One team is located in the Katadin area and the other two teams are near the Bangor area. This would not only increase the amount of games the teams get to play, but talks are already underway to organise some sort of playoff and championship schedule. hopefully the adding of these three teams is just the beginning for something much bigger.

Still moving foward

Well not a lot has change this week, but some fun changes are on for next week. Right now the Quarterback sessions are producing three very viable candidate for the quarter back position. I feel all three are good candidates and each one has there strenghts and weakness. I am sure all of them are going to see action in this coming season. On tap for next week is the quarterbacks and receivers will finally be working together in the gym, if all things go as planned. For the first time this season the Quarterback will be able to use their skills as we do live drills with the receivers in a local gym. This will be an excellent opportunity for both the Quarterbacks and the receivers to show their stuff and to do some additional team building.

The book work begins

Well we continue to move forward this week by giving all the quarterbacks and coaches the new playbook for this year. The other players will not get there playbooks until sometime in June. It is important for the Quarterbacks to have them now so they can start to get familiar with the plays. Unlike other player who only worry about their assignments in the play the, Quarterback need to know what everyone is going to be in order to recognise when things are not going right and to adjust accordingly. The Quarterback continue to work on their individual mechanics and are progressing well. We also continue to see more and more player at our Wednesday workouts and I hope we have more this week. If we can continue to build on the momentum of the past weeks we will have a large base of players to work with this season. On a lighter side the new team custom Jerseys are starting to come and and they look great. I will try to post a picture of one soon the Huskies colors and red, black, and white.
