Alright, so Bloomington has officially gotten the ball rolling for a bench minor state vs. state battle in April.

http://polo-velo-bloomington.blogspot.com/2011/12/battle-for-middle-west-april-7-8-2012.html

Apparently Chris is our team captain for Kentucky.

Who wants in? I know that between Louisville and Lexington we can field a full team. There's probably just going to be Me (Michael), Zach and Jimmy that would be interested from our end though.

And .... discuss.

So it is just LEX and LOU so when can you all make it down?
we have a ton of time for this too so we should wait as long as possible cause everyone is getting better.
I dont have to have a "roster" so we can all go and have back ups for injuries, a bad streak...

we have been making it down a couple times the last month or so, I'm sure it won't be an issue to do it again soon. this weekend i'm out, work is hellish, and next weekend is STL ... so maybe we plan on the weekend after the Lock-In to come down for some pickup? I don't know how to really settle it from there... do we even have 9 serious players for this between us? not that everyone isn't serious ...

So I have been thinking about these tryouts and I have some things for people to "work" on. These are some of the things that I will be looking for/at.

bike control
ball control
shot accuracy %
swing (I will break it down looking at form)
speed
endurance
court sense
general knowledge of the game

more to come
