Team Squad Training and The Night Off

Friday afternoon was another opportunity for some Team USA Squad Training where all age groups had valuable 90 minute training sessions focusing on creativity and imagination on court, game-like scenarios with feedback, mental toughness exercises, and opportunities to hit with these world class national coaches.

Team USA stepped up their intensity throughout the practice and after the hour and a half session, the kids were ready for a break!  Most of the team went for a supervised swim at the hotel pool while others took a much needed afternoon nap.

The team reconvened for a barbecue dinner at the hotel with Team Ontario followed with an evening to relax and have fun.  Players enjoyed the outdoor garden area at the hotel and got to know Team Ontario a little better, while others played cards, ping-pong, swam, and watched the Olympics.

Knowing tomorrow morning will have some fitness testing, Team USA headed to bed on the early side in order to be ready for their big day tomorrow.
