Weather can really affect how people play outside, including conditions as wind and rain, according to Niver. People have to get a lot more spin and snap on their throws outside, versus when they are playing inside.
According to Niver, space is another issue because most players are used to seeing walls in a gym and don't recognize the edge of the field when they are outside. Both of these factors may have played a huge role in how well the team performed at UWSP.
However, the team had prepared for the tournament since March according to Krauss. They work on a variety of different things, whether the practice is inside or outside.
"We start off practice with basic throwing, backhand and forehand and then we work our way into some drills, practice our zone defense and normally end the day with a scrimmage," Krauss said.
The organization is always looking for more students to come out and join. They are looking to expand the organization with more officers and split the organization into students who only want to play the sport for fun, and others who would like to play on a competitive level.
"We are looking to have a good time, have fun and keep building interest," Krauss said.
According to Krauss, next year they will have officers designated for those who only want to come out and play pickup games and other officers who will focus mainly on the tournaments they will participate in throughout the year.
"It's about having fun and if people like that, they will hear about it," Hammes said.
