Coach K checks ✔ in with her thoughts on their match.

” The Middle School continues to learn. Tonight’s loss was a hard one for them because they made some mistakes that they knew they had already learned not to do, but their spirits were still good and we just continue to take one step at a time to grow and learn this game. It was incredibly useful for them all to stay and watch the JV positions.

We watched as they found their player on JV playing their position and their minds began to grow as they watched them play out their transitions and skills. It truly is a beautiful thing to watch young players begin to connect the dots in this game.”

Thank You Coach !
