Main Set Wednesday – When the Ball’s in Your Court…

Barbara’s masters group used their kick day to accept Glenn’s challenge to do just a little bit more with the Head-Up Dolphin drill.  

We didn’t step it up TOO much, because this is somewhat of a chess game, and I’m in favor of stretching this contest out for a few more weeks.  This made a heckuva kick set…much harder than it looks on paper.   Glenn, over to you and the AGUAnooners.
