- 12/03/06 - Review of Swarm Training Camp - St. Paul Version
The Swarm finally made it back to town this weekend. At Corner Kick in Maplewood, there were twenty-five players in attendance throughout the weekend as they were put through their paces. It was the first time for fans to see our new Head Coach, Duane Jacobs. All camp watchers were definitely impressed by Jacobs who ran practice very well. He was able to get the players to increase their intensity throughout the weekend especially by last night when the team scrimmaged. Jacobs puts a premium on having the players exert all they have throughout every moment of practices and games. If that was not the case, he let them know it.
