Jaime, Jodi, Katie, and myself joined veterans Shelley and Oleha on the court at 11am to practice at our own pace and away from the “High Octane” players. It’s a beautiful day in Ottawa, and with the sun shining down on us, the first real heat wave of the season making us giddy after a long winter, we were so happy to smack some balls around and play a game or two.
Today was all about the basics: Maneuvering the bike around tight corners, biking with a mallet in your hand, handling the ball, passing, and shooting.
We played a couple of games, and while we were all kinda nervous about it at first, we each came into our own, and by the end of practice, we’d all gotten a huge confidence boost and an eagerness to come back.
I had a great time, and I can’t wait for next Saturday!!!
