Picture, Practices, and Music

By the time noontime rolled around last Saturday, February 6, another week of practice was in the books for the Cards. For the second straight week the girls were asked to be ready for a 6:00AM practice the morning after completing 7:00PM practice the night before. Just to quickly recap, this past week of practice featured an inter-squad scrimmage, team conditioning, a poignant reading of an inspirational story, hitting stations, infield/outfield drills with Coach Roberts and Coach Prudhomme, and pitching and catching scenario and drill work with Coach Zweig.

New this year, the coaching staff has encouraged the players to research music of their choice that could, in any way, apply to the team and our goals. The response has been great. So far, the coaches and players alike have brought in music and lyrics. We've listened to the selected songs after practice and discussed how they relate to us as a whole. Listed below are links to the songs we've selected thus far. There will be more music selections as the weeks progress.

Last Saturday morning Julia Hada, Assistant Sports Information Director at Plattsburgh State, swung by the fieldhouse to take the 2010 team picture as well as individual "head shots." The team picture is posted on our official website --
