Volume 7: November 24, 2022

Our regular season ended with a bang last weekend! The games were incredibly entertaining and filled with spirit, and the teams played with zeal and tenacity while trying to improve their post-season rankings.

East Side held onto its undefeated record after a nail-biter against HVA that ended in a tie, 6-6. Spectators — fully immersed in the match — wanted us to go into overtime, but we were unable to do so.

Will East Side ascend to the championship pinnacle? Only time will tell, so stay tuned for the Pro Bowl and playoffs to find out!

Due to the holiday weekend, there will be no scheduled programming this Saturday, November 26. We'll return for the Pro Bowl game Saturday, December 3 followed by the first round of playoffs Saturday, December 10.

Tip of the Week:

Footwork, Foot-WIN

Footwork — the way in which you move your feet — is a game-changing skill that can immediately improve your performance on the field.

There may be players bigger, stronger, and faster than you, but if you're the athlete with the best footwork, you're the one with the advantage. Footwork technique and mechanics can make up for a lack of size or experience in any arena making the skill a true equalizer in all sports, not just football.

Check out a few cornerback footwork drills. If you practice these in your spare time, you'll quickly see improvement in your athletic prowess on the field and beyond (such as the dance floor).
