The Varsity team consists of 8 players and all of them considers each an equal, none better than the others. Coach Johnson helped his team to victory by stressing that the players practice on their own and improve individually. When asked what the hardest part of the sport is. Casey Marshall replied. Playing in the wind because you can ' t control the ball. Tactics is also a big part of El Dorados secret.
