5v5

Moving up again, to 5v5 this time, almost a full field. It was a "practice" for the high school kids, but really we just threw around for 10 minutes and then scrimmaged. I felt strong, but my competition was fairly low aside from Lu Wang. Two of the new captains picked teams, and I felt that they were fairly even. They had the height and more individual talent, but I feel like I brought some cohesion to my team. Plus, Andrew was with us, and he's pretty quick and very skilled--glad he's coming to Rutgers.

There wasn't much team defense, and some of the younger kids just don't have the experience to play hard man-to-man. I do think I played excellent D on Lu, though--very physical, I put pressure on him and didn't give much up. I dropped one pass, but otherwise I played good team offense. My goal for the scrimmage was to be a non-leader on the line by making sure the captain told us what to do on O and D each point, and to do exactly what was asked of me strategically. I think I achieved this goal. It feels good to move progressively closer to real Ultimate. I can't wait for Chowdafest this weekend.
