It was fun out at practice today, the scrimmages are always fun but after practice was the most
entertaining. I will put that up in another post later on...Practice observations: There was
another warm body in camp today that I did not recognize, probably a player to fill out the
practice but I could not find out any info for sure.
First off, a little news. I have heard that Ryan Raybould will be rejoining the Wizards. He will be
taking over in the booth for Zoran Savic who is now an assistant coach.Practice: These were from
the second practice yesterday. Coach Vermes has been doing some two-a-days since he took over as
head coach.
Stopped by practice Thursday afternoon and there was no Hirsig, he is still waiting on his visa.
After warm-ups, they played a few variations of 7v7 possession drills. The three 7 man teams then
scrimmaged with full size goals. Hartman and Pardo played keeper for all of the teams. With
Kronberg recovering and Chris Brown no longer trialing with the team, Hartman and Pardo are the
only healthy
Pretty normal practice, after warm-ups and drills the team played 10v10 with small goals. Some good
play, a few sweet passes/flicks by Lopez but to me Gomez stood out again today. Great runs, passes
and shots, he has looked really good lately in the practices I have attended. There were some
fantastic play by Harrington and Jewsbury as well today.
Little Jimmy would like to point something out. Over the last two games, the Wizards have played
two teams that were at the top of their divisions, on the road, and walked away with 4 points. They
have managed to hold off two hot and confident teams, stunned two home crowds and have not even
played their best game yet.
Lots of (mostly) fun stuff from practice...Not sure who this keeper is, if anyone know leave a
comment...Cristman practicing karate?While bored and waiting for the next fun function, Herculez
starts balancing a ball (ala seal) on his head for extended period of time...Cristman, also bored
starts knocking the ball off of Gomez's head.
