I just want to get back into the sport. I had knee surgery and in 3 weeks I can start practicing. I was wondering does anyone know of any places to practice in Cedar Rapids Iowa? And if so when is the St. Louis event.?

Take a look at the NASGA site...http://www.nasgaweb.com

and check the forum. Might be worth signing up and putting a post in, looking for training buds.

Jon,

Knee rehab here too--knocked a full year off me but getting back is VERY good. Welcome back! My only advice is to take it slow and enjoy your events. Work on form most of all...as you continue things tend to click back into shape. I've had to REALLY adjust my form because of my injury, but I learned not to push too fast. Just getting back into things feels good right now---distances/heights will come as I get stronger.

If you can't find a suitable place to practice--I use a public park. People tend to clear out of the way once I start throwing ;-)

Ok--2 games left this year: This weekend in Harveysburg OH and next weekend in Tecumseh MI. What can I say--I'm stoked! I wasn't sure what I'd be able to do with the rehab this year, and as things go, it looks like I'll have gotten 3 games in--SO much more than I could have hoped for. Now I just have to post scores and find someone to video some throws so our rabble here can fix my jacked-up form :-)

Sure you are! You guys helped encourage me to get back into things. I'd really like your input on any video I'm able to get. Just looking at Ryan's WFD video showed me a 'catch' in my form that I KNOW costs me momentum. My goal this weekend is to move as smoothly as he did on the light WFD.

I've been VERY lucky in that I'm throwing with guys who were in my class (Masters 40-49 under 200 lbs) at the World Championships this year--and I seem to be holding my own. Who knows--decent tosses in the next 2 games and I might here the Pipes of Inverness calling me for next July ;-)

I am DYING to go to the Masters Worlds next July!!!!!

Not gonna happen, the Luminou Joan will *never* go for it, but I sure have the itch.

AHHHH!! Ohio Pro Am was a BLAST!!!!! It was like having a free-2 day clinic from the pros! One more left--Tecumseh next weekend.

So Alan--how'd it got at Seaside?????

Oops--Sorry Alan--forgot--they're on the 11th! Good luck!
