More Progress

Today there was another meeting with movement toward a unified future in the MWPA. Marilyn confirmed a Neptune request to add players to our Cadet Girls team for Nationals and I agreed to 3 additions. I have been saving roster spots for in season developments, within Bushido or otherwise, so this is nothing shattering. The new players will join our Thursday practice.

This means we now have 1 Cadet Boy, 3 Cadet Girls and 3 Youth Girls who have joined our training group from the Neptunes. I am viewing this as a partnership under Bushido leadership, not an exodus from Neptunes. Let's all keep that perspective for the health of the relationship.

Our club coaches meeting went well today, could have been longer though. All agreed on skills missing from Atom and Bantam, direction of teams and how to approach the month lead up to Alberta Open. Everyone was also open to the changes we are embarking on with the MWPA in terms of more open and supportive club relationships. I will have a lot more to say on all this is weeks ahead.

If you are following Serena and Hawaii, they suffered the first loss of the season today to #1 UCLA. No big thing, they will improve as the season goes on. This was in tournament play so they are still 2-0 in the MPSF games, what matters most.
