Never forget in any part of your lives what it’s possible to accomplish as part of a team or community with purpose and intention. It takes everyone from the founding members who haven’t played in a decade, to everyone on the board, to the new players who only get to practice, to the stars on the field. It takes a village, so remember to be grateful for ours.

Better passes and better catches. I'd like to encourage everyone in practice to try other positions or ask to do so.

Utilized kicking well. Defense was great - backs launched well and blitzed well when needed. We adjusted our defense to cover a more creative defense, especially of Palmer. 

Forwards did a great job controlling the game and doing all necessary work in the breakdowns. This allowed for more dynamic movement for loosies to work with backs, and even more creative tight 5 movement]]> 2022-06-04 17:54:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mventura5/pwrfc/wish/2211009302 Well done! https://padlet.com/mventura5/pwrfc/wish/2211009362 CalmER heads

Defensively we can get in the habit of accepting tackles and not taking away enough space before contact. Line outs and scrums were smarter, but did not find the other teams as challenging in those set pieces. 

Overall I think handling and offloading at pace needs some work, especially in the backs.
