Why not make it 11x11 and play a full court game? You can stop at 11x11, and late comers can wait to sub in if they want to. There are certainly enough people to do that. This should give you guys plenty good quality off-season practices to get ready for the next one. Do not worry about too many people waiting. There will not be, because someone will try to start another game. I agree that right now we are too messy. Yes we have the maximum freedom to come out and join the plays at any time, but such freedom comes at the expense of others who do want to get a good work out and those who make the effort to get there on time. So I think it's fair for the more "serious" guys to play separately from the "freedom lovers" :-) -----Original Message----- From: Chen, Mark Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 4:53 PM To: dragon@ez.swmed.edu Subject: Practice plan proposals Scott, Haven't heard any comments from other players, I am for your proposal C) Have the Same Sunday Practice in Russle-Creek , 15 minutes earlier than Tom's announcing Time.

Gladly nobody got drunk, as Lao Tang pointed out, which shows our maturity. :-) For those of dragons weren't able to show up, we really missed you guys and hopefully we can make it up next time. Prayers and thoughts goes to Da Gang's wife. We wish the treatment and recovery will/shall be smooth and successful. Also wish players in the injury list, Lao Tang, Li Huan and , He Ye , etc will have a fully rest and recovery. More exciting football is still ahead of us. Get well and get back soon. thanks, Scott -ps: I am trying to figure out a better way to keep the dragons off-season relaxing and fun. As you all know, I am strongly opposing the current un-organized Sunday practice for many reasons. It is not only no-team play and injury-prune, I think it will drag the players into a state of self-centric and un-disciplined random play. That will lower our playering level and certainly won't make us ready for next season, wether in Div. B or Div.C. Just wondering how may folks will agree or disagree the following options: A) Have the Same Sunday Practice as currenly in Russle-Creek at the same start time, but Dragon/ex-Dragon only with 4~6 players open for non-dragons. Game closed after we have 9 by 9. B) Have the Sunday practice in PRC or other places, Dragon/ex-Dragon only with 4~6 playes open for non-dragons. C) Have the Same Sunday Practice in Russle-Creek , 15 minutes earlier than Tom's announcing Time. Game closed after it reaches 9x9. D) Move the practice to other days, Saturday, eg. C) Stay the same, as currently is. Please feed back your opinion and suggestions. I think it could simplyl be an enforcing probem that we could try to overcome. Mark, what do you think ? thanks, qishen tang wrote: Sccot, Thank you and your family for hosting such a wonderful party past Sat. We enjoyed it very much... I am sure the cleanup was massive afterwards, but you should be thankful that no one got drunk and threw up everywhere. :) Happy holiday, Lao Tang __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
