An Unfocused Night of Practice


Tuesday, 28 January, 2020

It was an uneventful day up to the moment that we headed out to practice in the evening.

Before the Prima Squadra's practice on our rented synthetic turf field, I had to attend a meeting at our beloved home practice facility, Skorpion Field.

We have been at our new practice site all of this month in anticipation of the typical Alpine foothills' inclement January weather that wreaks havoc with our natural grass home field.

Of course, it has not snowed once since my arrival and we've had but two inconsequential, short rain episodes during the last 17 days.

We are moving our practices back to Skorpion Field next Tuesday. Look for a snowstorm of biblical proportions too hit Varese at about noon that day.

When I arrived at Skorpion Field, our Women's and U17 flag football teams were hard at work.

At the Prima Squadra workout,
the numbers at practice were good

Interestingly the physical effort
was good, I my opinion, but . . .

 . . . mentally we were not focused,
especially at the offensive skill positions

With only nine more practices until our opening game of the DII season on February 29th, we simply can not have any more nights like this one.

Thursday night needs to see all of us give a much better mental and physical effort.
