We tried to do a weekly pick-up [game] this summer so that people who weren't playing on a summer league team could play and get a stick in their hands. Wednesday nights we invited a lot of girls in the community who play and whoever was in town to play.

It was just so good to win an overtime game. I just feel like it would have been a disaster to lose a third game in overtime, and it was really important going into the next couple games to put one in the cage and end it.

I've stayed almost every summer, and most of the girls in my class do too. There's usually a good chunk of the team here during the summer.

It's much easier to work out with your teammates and work out at a higher level. Especially if you're running with people who are running for the same things, that need to be training for the same things.
