Oregon’s 1st UWH Clinic!

Oregon UWH held it’s first clinic last weekend!

Chris Jolie took us through defensive, neutral and offensive pool zones as well as the basic strategies used for playing in each. If you missed out on the awesome, detailed packet he organized for us, download your copy here!

In addition to learning about the playing field, participants were able to cycle through several individual skill stations including, curling drills, stick handling drills and shooting obstacles. then we broke into (2) teams playing several scrimmage games that put all the new information to immediate test in real game situations.

The evening was topped off at Josh’s home with a delicious potluck and brainstorm session for Team Oregon 2015!

Great work everyone. I really look forward to perfecting my skills with you each week!
