League begins this week, and both teams are READY for it!! It is important to remember that during league, decisions will be made for each game that will help the team implement the best strategy possible against that particular opponent. That means the team may play a different formation and playing time may look different. This is so that we can leverage our strengths against specific opponents to bring us success. Every game requires a different strategy because every opponent is different.
