Closed Cool Competition

[Ivy Cullen]

Ivy was proud that gryffindor had won the first game this year especially as it was against slytherin. Felix had done his thing and caught the snitch in a move that enyone would be proud of. But winning didnt mean that she could relax. no, it just meant that they were in the championship match against ravenclaw and after the first taste of success she knew she wanted to beat Lucy and the eagles. The thing she was struggling with most this year was that she had some well-seasoned players on the team, but she also had a few new players who hadn't played Quidditch before and who had not had much experience on a broom at all. and trying to find the right balance of basic skills and confidence building for the younger players as well as challenging the older ones was proving to be a bit of a struggle. she had run sessions with the new players, and with the whole team and she thought that she had a good balance but it did mean that she was on the pitch a lot. Often running trainings at weird hours, as that was when she could get the extra bookings. Today, she hadn't booked and was just going to go for a fly around the grounds. It was fun skimming over the lake, especially on a hot day when she could let her feet drag in the water. But when she had collected her broom, she was surprised to see the pitch empty. She got some music playing and grabbed a quaffle and took to the air, running through a couple of drills she was planning to bring to the basics session as, well as experimenting with ways that she could boost it for the more advanced players.
