Its only the second day of practice in full equipment but some position battles have emerged in the Monarchs training camp. For example M. Steele vs J. Zahnee (160), A. Gleplay vs E. Sheppard III (105), E. Gleplay vs S Pratt (90) and M. Moody vs A. Strocen (160) just to name a few. Yes sir, it was some serious contact out there Assistant Coach Gene said.
In each case, the underdogs / new players are fighting for playing time while some veterans try to coast through training camp off of last year's performances. Well, its not going to happen Coach Greg said. And some players are going to be in for a rude awakening when they find themselves on the bench or only playing because of the mandatory play rule. Its just that simple. And to be perfectly honest, I'm a little disappointed when players miss practice for bogus reasons. If we (the coaching staff ) are out there in the rain or heat, than so should our players. How do you expect to play if you don't practice? The more repetitions in practice, the better the player will become. That's the bottom line.
Still, it's fair to say the Monarchs are a little ahead of schedule this year. Why? Because we gave out our equipment on August 1st and the turnout was very very positive Coach Greg said. Right now we have over forty kids in pads and we usually carry about seventy-five to eighty kids a year. Our numbers are slightly up but, if your still interested in playing this year there is still time to sign up. So come up and check us out.
Below are some of the players that are missing in action.
T. Bruce (135), K. Cryor (135), J. McMillian (160), D. May (105), A. Morris (105), D. Douglas (90), R. Coles (90), X. Stevenson (90), G. Artis (135), J. River (160) and N. Baker (135).
FYI, EVERYDAY YOU MISS IS A DAY YOU ARE BEHIND!!!!!!!!
