Wow, 2020 is coming to a close and what a year it has been! Together we welcomed in (although begrudgingly) a global pandemic, conquered online college, and found ways to stay connected even when apart. A LOT happened in 2020, so we wanted to take a moment to focus on some of the highlights, which brought us joy, happiness, and reasons to celebrate this year!
Spring 2020
In March, right before everyone was sent home from Gustavus, we held a fun-filled practice, and played some of team's favorite games
Throughout the spring, the team competed in mini team competitions, with weekly technical challenges, fun videos, and kept our competitive spirits high!
Over the summer, the team was prepping for our fall season, and held their own biweekly practices, where they were able to stay safe, and be together again.
Throughout the summer, we held our team happiness sessions (over zoom), were we spent about an hour each session, playing games, like trivia, balderdash, etc, learning about each other, and simply put enjoyed spending time together!
On campus, we started off the fall with only our first year and transfer students. We spent three weeks, training with this group, working on increasing our speed of play and comfort level with the ball. Meanwhile, our upperclassmen attended film, and leadership sessions to continuously push themselves to improve.
On September 29, we had our first full team practice, our on practice fields for the first time in 200 days since being sent home in the spring. WOW! Our practices focused on ball mastery, finishing cooly, and increasing our speed of play. Within all of our practices, maybe the best one was our snow-filled obstacle courses featuring some epic obstacles.
As we enter the new year, we can decide to reflect on the positives, and keep a hold of those, as we enter 2021!
