4 square!
Most of us spent the rest of the day playing 4 square. It's such a great way to get all the different players together and get to know each other . Photo by Alex "Zeke" Ibardaloza.

Me and some of CIC got there early Sunday morning to set up the sound system at the freestyle site. After getting done sooner than we expected we kicked with some of the net players. I wish I could have played a pick-up game or two before the freestyle events started. . Photo by Tim Werner.

The entire morning was very relaxed, laid back with a slow pace. As seen here Jon Nagela chillin' with Michigan's Greg Nelson. But when it came time to start the events I remember just running around trying to keep to our time schedule. I've never run a freestyle event prior to this and I felt akward trying to keep the guys focused on getting the job done. I spent most of the time jumping from circle to circle looking for my judges and making sure that competitors had their music ready to go . Photo by Alex "Zeke" Ibardaloza.
