Ka-Pow! Trials 2

The second weekend of Ka-Pow! trials went so well and I'm really excited for this season. We appear to have talent across the roster and have some great prospects on the training squad.

On Saturday we did some drills focussing on cutting patterns, did some 3 v 4 to work on defensive positioning/poaching and the offensive flow and taking open passes and played some games.
On Saturday night, we went for dinner at a Polish restaurant before hitting up a bowling alley to test the trialists' bowling skills (not taken into account in squad selections).
On Sunday the players were split into three teams and the day was taken up entirely with games between the teams. It was another tough weekend, but great fun as well.

The selections process has been tough, as there have been plenty of high quality players fighting for spots. The squad will be quite familiar to those to saw the squad list from last year, but we have some really high quality additions and in the new faces is a mixture of raw talent and experience!

This is going to be a good year, I can feel it!
