Basketball Practice, Sunday Morning, Gym

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Yes, more than two weeks passed between the game and the next practice session for the basketball team. No, Tyler doesn't want to explain why. He had handwavily sent out an email scheduling today's session and asking when people wanted to practice going forward; that should be enough.

He turned on a mix tape, mostly Rage Against the Machine and Linkin Park, loudly enough to make the floor around it shake from the bass, and started working on his free throws.

[OOC: Expect extreme SP from me from about 1:30 p.m. EST or so until much later. And please answer the survey if you haven't yet.]

Chat & Warm Up, 7/2

Stretch, run laps, talk like big talking things, etc.

Tyler plunks down on a mat and starts racing through sit-ups.

Conner looked over from a nearby mat, where he was doing some stretching and sit-ups of his own. "Tyler! Sleeping any better without the ghost?"

Zack started a series of stretches.

Tyler waved to Zack. "The ghost is gone," he said. "Sorry for the ... thing with the coffee."

Anders went through the shorter of his Pyramid warmup routines and then went through a quick series of line sprints on the court.

Looking rather tired with a bruise starting to form across one cheekbone and eye, Peter started stretching out.

Re: Chat & Warm Up, 7/2

Tyler rubbed his own eye in sympathy. "Looks like you had an interesting night," he said. "You okay to practice?"

Tempe stretched a bit before running a few laps. She didn't feel much like talking to anyone this morning.

John does some warm up stretches and tries to work out the kinks in his neck and back from sleeping on the floor.

Peter waved at John. "Morning, Stickbug Brother! How goes it?"

Drill, Basketball, 7/2

Pick your own. (http://www.degerstrom.com/basketball/drills/)

Anders wasn't under any illusions about his ball-handling skills, so he went for the basics and dribbled a ball while doing laps around the court.

Conner opted for the Pure Shooter (http://www.degerstrom.com/basketball/drills/shooting/748/) drill and just started going after the basket. He missed about two thirds of the shots he attempted, so hitting that total of 100 was going to take a while.

Tempe worked on her 3-pointers, as she was still getting only 1 in 7 or 8 of them in. The Peja Stojakovic 3-Pointers (http://www.degerstrom.com/basketball/drills/shooting/858/) was a very handy drill for such a purpose.

Re: Drill, Basketball, 7/2

Peter started working on Anywhere Shots (http://www.degerstrom.com/basketball/drills/shooting/844/). Something that involved less running than he'd normally do. He was slowly getting better. Slowly.

Watch or do other gym stuff, Basketball, 7/2

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

For anyone who wants to use the gym for something else, or sit and observe the players.

River showed up to stare at Tyler observe the game. She didn't find basketball that exciting, but the music was good, and it quickly became impossible to sit still.

Tyler noticed River dancing, which made him quit dribbling and go over to talk to her. "You like rock?" he asked, smiling.

Coach Bluth, 7/2

The coach is here. And half asleep. Who organizes practice on a Sunday morning?

OOC, Basketball, 7/2

I feel obligated to point out that Tyler's taste in music is his own.
