The Irish Are Here!
Sorry I haven't blogged in FOREVER! Things have been so ridiculously busy, it's been unreal. And mainly it's because the Irish are here. Tony's club team from Ireland, Queens, came Sunday night to Umeå for the week. So far it's been a busy, fun-filled week of BASKETBALL, including morning sessions, afternoon sessions, and evening games. Not to mention the Halloween party we had last night, shopping in the centrum and an adventure to the moose farm today (I however did not go on that trip). What has also been really cool is how we have mixed all the teams, Swedish and Irish. The young Comets team, (96 and 97 girls) with the Irish girls (13 yr. olds)...fun to see the girls come together and play basketball from the two countries. It's been a great experience I think for all the teams, and even a great way to get the Damligan players involved with coaching the younger girls. Everybody working together, what a team concept! Here are some pictures taken from the basketball sessions this week.
Energy exercise! They are about to dive for those balls...
Run, play, coach!!
So in the afternoon sessions, the Damligan players were given a team mixed with Irish and Swedish players. Here is the team I coached this week!! We called ourselves the "Quee'mets" (queens + comets)!! We had a successful week finishing 5th out of 5 teams...haha, okay so maybe not that great.
Mila and Johanna showing some excitement coaching!! HAHA!! Candid moment!
Last night was the Halloween party!! All the girls dressed up and all the teams got together for some good Swedish-Irish fun!! I think the party was an absolute success!! So who do you think has the best costume???...
Vampires and trolls...Oh my! Comet girls...
That's a whole lot of witches! More Comets...
Nice Sofia and Erika (damligan players)!
Go-go girls??? Representing Queens...
The Damligan girls! Any guess on Johanna's costume??
Check out the sitting Swedes in the one picture and then in the next picture we have the crazy Irish dancers!! It was lots of dancing at the party and some games as well. Including musical chairs, musical statues, limbo and a crazy spin around the pole swedish game...haha!! It turned out to be a pretty fun night and the girls loved it!!
So PHEW! I finally posted a blog and it only took a week, haha. I am missing a lot of things, but I promise I will talk about them here soon. It's time to get to practice, so I will describe the past events this week in another post. here shortly. Including our innebandy (floorball) practice with Dalen's coach Tony and our game last Saturday to Solna that we lost 51-82 I think. It was however I much better game then the score reflects. More on that later!! I hope everyone is having a great week!! OH also Happy Birthday to my friend Mattias!! Hope you have a great day!!
That's all for now folks!!
VI HÖRS!
