Training Schedule Intensifies

At the end of March, the team spent four days at San Diego State University (seen above and below), training twice each day as part of a weeklong camp for all of TEAM USA. The squad returned to Maryland just in time for April showers, and they had a number of practices canceled. So, to make up for lost time, training sessions have expanded from once to twice to now three times a week in the final run-up to departure. Constant practice, including winter sessions in a basketball gym, has greatly improved the team's skill and understanding of the game, and most of the current sessions involve a lot of scrimmage time... which is good, because they will play multiple games per day in Athens. Time to make sure we're in shape, guys!
