    In my offence:
    -Strengths: We pass very often and we cradle a lot so the other team doesn't get the ball
    -Weaknesses: Sometimes we walk and don't try as hard and we need to learn to catch better.

    In my defence:
    -Strengths: We can run with the ball without it falling and we are very good at throwing
    -Weaknesses: We find it very hard to get the ball when the other team has the ball and we need to run faster when getting the ball on the ground.

    One strength that our team posses is the ability to create passing triangles. Another is that we have the will to win. However, our weaknesses are that we a slightly bad at passing and are very innacurate when shooting.

    One weakness I think we have is playing man on man coverage. Another would be retreving the ball quickly once we drop it or dont catch a pass.
    I think our strenghts would be scorring and transitioning from defense to offense quicker than the other team.

    2 of my team's offensive strengths are getting the ball to everyone on the team and catching short passes

    2 of my team's defensive strengths are intercepting passes and keeping them on their side of the field

    2 of our offensive weaknesses are cradling the ball and long goal scoring

    2 of our defensive weaknesses are stopping the player from scoring when they are running and scooping the ball when it's still in play

  9. 1 strength my team has is catching the ball, another strength we have is moving the ball up and down the field. 1 weakness we have it stoping the other team on defense, another weakness we have is shooting the ball into the net.

  10. We are very good at passing the ball around and shooting. We are weak in getting open and scooping. On defense we don't cover and we allow open shots. We are good at taking the ball, and knocking the ball away

  14. Strengths:
    1) My team moved to open space in order to get open for passes
    2) We were very efficient when shooting and rarely missed a shot

    Weaknesses
    1) We did not put enough effort into running back to play defense when the opposing team had the ball

  15. Strengths on offense:
    1) We were very good at going to open spaces to get open for passes
    2) We shot the ball very efficiently and rarely missed on a goal scoring opportunity
    Weaknesses on offense:
    1) We would often lose possession of the ball when on offense because our ball security was not that good
    2) We would often go into the crease which would cancel any offensive threat that we gave
    Strength on defense:
    1) We were very good at hitting the balls out of the opponents sticks which helped stop opponents attacks
    2) We were very good at positioning ourselves between the player we are guarding and the goal.
    Weaknesses on defense:
    1) We did not show enough effort to run back to a defensive position after we had lost the ball
    2) We sometimes let opposing players run by us and get a shot on goal because we did not have great speed on our team

    The front and back formation works better for my time. This is because it enables us to cover a wider range of the court, and have a 'back up' if one player misses the ball.
    Depending on the opponent we would still use the front to back formation because we are more familiar with it, and also because the pickle ball court is small, so using a side by side formation hinders our movement a bit.

    One strength of our offense is that as soon as we got the ball, we were faster to transition to offense, and a weakness was that we could not all catch the ball.
    One strength on defense was that we could match up, and play man to man defense very well, but when we lost the ball on offense, we were slow to get back.
