Tommy is Getting It!

At a time when we're struggling to get more than 4 people to a practice, we have to make every minute count. There are plenty of people that like footbag, but Tommy is breathing it. Previously, I've never felt like anyone from the Nashville club has matched my enthusiam for footbag before. Tommy may have only been playing for a few months, however, he wants it more than anyone out there on the court; he stays later & trains harder than anyone I've ever met. It's just a matter of time before his drive excels him to the pro level.

Takraw Action

It's still pretty quiet around here footbag-wise, so I've been playing more takraw as of late. Here's a quick little video of some action at the Wat Buddharam Temple in Murfreesboro.

Attendance Issues & the Great Flood of 2010

Attendance issues are certainly nothing new to Nashville. It's plagued us time & time again. The flood forced us to cancel a session a couple weeks back, then a number of people called out on Mother's Day. It's an unfamiliar feeling to go nearly 3 weeks without footbag, but it happened. Every year I think, 'this'll be the year' & it falls short. In Janurary we had 6-8 people at every practice in winter! That's never happened before, so I took it as a really positive sign. As the year had progressed, attendance had dropped & we're struggling to find that dependable constant 4th player that we need to keep the game afloat. We have a number of part-time players that show up on occasion, however, part-time doesn't cut it. We need a steady 4.

Takraw Back in Effect

The takraw season fired off again in April this year. It's always nice to get in some extra kicking whenever I can. The spring tournament was supposed to be the other week, but was cancelled due to rain. Enjoy some of the photos I took last week.
