INTRO:

Today was a pretty self serving beatdown.  With tomorrows first annual F3 Superbowl looming, YHC thought it a good idea for a little training camp.  It’s been about 10 years since I played in any kind of real football game, knocking off some rust seemed like a good idea.

WARM-O-RAMA:

We started promptly at 5:30.  Picking up where Hooch left off, the PAX circled up and counted off to establish todays Clinic Count.  Chop your feet and do a burpee.  We did one round and headed out on foot for the 1/10th mile jog to Fire Station 14 to meet Matchstick and Hank Hill.  Once there, the PAX crossed the street to the church parking lot for a nice slow weed picker and Clinic Count.  Warmups out of the way, we got right into it.

THE THANG:

Any good practice starts out with some agility drills.  The PAX lined up on the curb for 5 left leg left arm toe touches.  Sprint to the next parking spaces and repeat using the opposite side.  Repeat to the opposite curb and Clinic Count then back to the starting curb and Clinic Count.  

Next we did a passing drill with a QB, Reciever and defender.  Completed pass =5 Merkins for whole offense and 10 for defense.  Incomplete = 5 Merkins for defense and 10 on offense.  Only Harding who barely knew what a football was when we started managed to get a pick resulting in 15 offensive merkins and 0 on defense.  The whole PAX got a shot at each position. Then Clinic Count

Next was a circle drill.  2 PAX raced across the parking lot stopping to circle 2 cones.  Once right hand on the cone and once left hand.  The loser got 5 Merkins while the winner started Mary.  Clinic Count and do it again back to the other side.  Clinic Count.

Next was a four cone drill.  Sprint to the first cone, break down, 90* turn, sprint to the next, 90*, Sprint, 90*, sprint, 90*, sprint to the end. Clinic Count and  suicide to the opposite side. Clinic Count.

Rolling Burpees.  3 PAX stand side to side chopping their feet.  Middle PAX rolls left.  Left PAX jumps over and rolls right.  Right PAX jumps over and rolls left.  Each group went 3 times per PAX.   The group did Squats and Mary while waiting their turn. Clinic Count .

We finished with a backpedal drill.  QB holds the ball up while 3 PAX backpedal.  whichever way the QB points, the PAX angle that way.  QB throws the ball.  Dropped ball = 10 merkins.

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

It was a rocky COT today.  THC is out of practice and almost forgot the Name-O Rama.  Thanks to misty for the call out.  In the spirit of thanksgiving, each PAX talked about something they’re grateful for.  

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Thanks to Gutcheck, Matchstick, and Hank Hill for thinking about a trip to the fire station to pick up a couple of Woodstock’s Bravest.  Turns out the Clinic AO is even bigger than we thought!  Shout out to Java Mon for being late, finding the AO empty, and still getting in his workout.  Grylls and Java Mon moseyed over to the firestation as the PAX was returning to the flag.
