Can We Build It?

So we sent cub reporter aL down to last week's "Build a Better BPL" training session on Thursday night at AJSC, and here's what he had to say:

"So the first week of the three building better BPL training nights went
down last Thursday at Annerley, with a fairly solid turnout of about
22 players of various levels of experience.

The session focussed mostly on man on man defence with a little bit
of thinking about how to generate cuts on offence.

Take home messages?

• When you're on defence you need think about where the biggest threats from
  offensive cutters lie and then shut down those options.
• Look for the 'tells' that let you know what cutters are thinking about doing
  and then respond to them.

And on offence?

• Remember that you're in control. Think about where you want to be
  catching the disc for the biggest gain for your side and then work to take your
  defender somewhere he doesn't to be, get him off balance, turn hard and go get
  the disc at your lesuire for the big gain.

We look forward to the next session on the 16th of July where the big
cheese will talk to us about better throwing and better marking. And
remember these sessions are open for anyone out there looking for a few tips on
how to improve your game."
