Hello to everyone who is following this blog. This is Drago Pokrajac, and I will be leading the U18 Circuit program, and Mike Pietras will be leading the U15 Circuit. Mike and I will be working closely together and observing the kids' progress and making program adjustments as necessary throughout the year. Many times we will be doing the same practice plan for both the U15 and the U18 circuit, and sometimes we will be running different practices.
I would like to encourage the parents and the kids in the program to use this blog to ask questions and give us suggestions if you have any. If you wish to discuss anything in private, please feel free to contact either Mike (mike.pietras@gmail.com) or myself (dragoslav.pokrajac@gmail.com).
The first two weeks in the program we will be doing a lot of hitting, as many of the kids have not played a lot over the summer, and evaluating everyone's level. The first part of the practice we will focus on finding a rhythm and consistency while doing a lot of counting drills. The second half of the practice we will be playing points from different situations on the court. After the first two weeks, we will get into more specific practice plans.
