Rene squinted at the pitch dejectedly, taking in the swath of fog and drizzle that covered the area and trying not to let the terrible weather impact his mood. At least maybe visibility would be a little better higher than the air, he thought grimly, nearly stubbing his toe as he gave the game chest a nudge with his foot to check it was still there. He'd been to plenty of practices in the past, so in theory starting one of his own should be easy and Rene tried to focus on that he as addressed the team, ignoring the way his damp quidditch robes were already starting to stick to him.

"Hey team! Weather's crap but hey what can you do," He started sheepishly once it looked like everyone was there. "Firstly, uh welcome to Chase, Finley, and Ver... Veroni-cue? Veronique? Did i say that right? Sorry," Rene said, stumbling over the pronunciation and hurriedly moving on. "Let's spend today getting back in form and getting used to each other again. Leo, Jordie, Renata, make sure you show Finley the chaser ropes, and...V, keep an eye on Zagreus and how he blocks or anticipates their shots. Chase, you're with me, let's see how you do with offense and defense, okay? Okay, cool, let's go," he said, hoping he'd covered everything for their new players and releasing the balls so they could started, watching as the snitch disappeared into the misty air before mounting his broom and throwing the quaffle into play.

No arrivals, let's get into practice. Practice will run until our game, please message me if you have any issues!
 
Felix wasn't a fan of the weather but he grinned to Rene as he spoke to the team. He was ready to get to work and make up for a less than ideal season like last year. He listened as instructions were given out and he gave Penelope a thumbs up before getting into the air and looking for the snitch.
 
Renata gave Rene a big grin and a thumbs up as she went down to the pitch with her new broom in tow. She was looking forward to a new year of Quidditch and hoped the team would do their best. She looked at the other chasers, knowing Jordie and Leo would work hard and curious to see how Finley would do. She took possession first, hoping to start off the training session on a good note.
 
Rene took to the air, wiping his palms on his already damp robes and adjusting his bat as he tried to keep an eye on the team and the bludgers.
 
Felix focused on the task at hand and looked for the snitch.
 
Renata focused on the target, dodging around and shooting to the right hoop at the last moment, beaming when the quaffle sailed through.
 
Felix kept an eye out for bludgers but none of them seemed to be flying at him yet as he kept up his search.
 
Rene grinned as Renata managed a goal so early in practice, hoping that boded well despite the bad weather.
 
Felix kept his head down and continued his search.
 
Penelope took to the air and started looking.
 
Renata grinned, hanging back a little to let other chasers take some shots.
 
Chase wasn’t sure how he had been picked for the team but he figured he was here now so he might as well make the best of it. At least he got to hit things. Who knew? Maybe it would be fun. The weather was disappointing and yet he stood silently with the others in the drizzle to hear what the captain had to say. He offered the older boy a small nod when he explained what they would be doing before eventually getting into the air on his old broom.
 
Leonardo grabbed the quaffle after Renata's goal and began heading towards the hoops.
 
Renata followed after Leo, still trying to make sure she was used to the new broom.
 
Chase swung his bat at the bludger he had been chasing. He had meant to aim it for the seeker but his aim definitely wasn't there yet and he watched as the bludger flew towards one of the chasers, @Renata Stepanova, instead.
 
Zag was quiet as he listened to Rene, simply nodding his head before mounting his broom and settling himself in front of the hoops. The first shot he didn't manage to get a hand on, but he wasn't too worried. He would just have to save the next one.
 
Finley didn't really know what to make of making the Hufflepuff team. He still wasn't all that bothered about it, but couldn't help feeling just a little awkward as he stood there with the rest of the team. The weather was hardly something to shout home about, Fin shaking his head just a little as he set off, hanging back for a moment to keep an eye on things and see how everyone else played.
 
Leonardo tossed the ball towards the hoops and was really disappointed when he missed. He was better than that show.
 
Chase looked around to see where the bludgers were.
 
Zagreus scooped up the ball after Leo missed, quickly tossing it back out to the closest chaser.
 
Renata flew in to take possession, even if the force controlling her actions was totally supposed to be going to bed instead.
 
Chase swung his bat at a bludger but missed the ball entirely.
 
Renata flew back towards the hoops, enjoying the extra speed the better broom granted her. It helped her speed to the right, throwing the quaffle through and watching it sail through with a smile. Even with the ache from the bludger hit.

Chase tried his luck again when he noticed another bludger heading his way, swining his bat at it and watching as it, more accidental than planned, soared for one of the keepers @Zagreus Kohler.
 
Leo knew he should be better at this. But he felt frustrated to watch Renata score again. He flew forward and caught the quaffle after it was tossed back out.
