Today the Kohawk Women had their first day of practice, which included team practice from 9:30am-11:30, individual sessions with coaches from either 12:30-1:30 or 1:30-2:30, a team meeting from 2:30-3, and finally a team practice from 3-4. Needless to say, it was a long, grinding, and hopefully productive day of tennis. And tomorrow is much the same! The practice schedule will taper off by the end of the week, but we hope to get some quality work done on the limited amount of time left before opening the season with conference dual matches on September 3rd.
Everything actually kicked off yesterday, when everyone made it back (or for the first time) to Coe. The coaches held an hour long team meeting, followed by games in the evening (such as bags and apples to apples, as seen in the photos). The team also had dinner together tonight, although I neglected to snap a photo for that!
Anyway, there is a lot of work ahead for the players and coaches, but plenty of enjoyment as well--junior captains Sara and Michelle will lead an off-court team activity tomorrow night! Judging from a first day of practice that revealed improvements gained from summer practice, talented first year players hungry to compete, and a hardworking attitude from all, the Kohawks are primed for a very successful season!
