Newsletter Volume 5 Issue 1

 


2021 is all about JUMPING.

January 2021 is all about working on your jump.  

This month we are going to focus on Jump training at the Ice Box training center.  If you are not going to be tall then you will need to learn to jump, it is also helpful if you are the tallest athletes.  This twice a week program is broken into two groups.  All groups are from 4-5 pm.
Group one is Monday and Wednesday for Grade 7-10 athletes
Group two is Tuesday and Thursday for Grade 10-12 athletes.

This program was used with the school day academy and we saw some impressive increase in athlete's vertical jumps.



Snow Volleyball

I have purchased a couple of snow volleyballs.  If you have some friends that would like to play for a couple of hours.   Drop me a note and we can set it up.  It should be fun.
There is no gym that needs to be rented,  just less than 8 players on the court and we have two courts we can use.  The courts have solar lights so we can play after the sunsets as well.   Get your friends together and let us try it.  For now, there is no cost for this activity just pick a nice day, so I (Darren) do not freeze.

Most of the players wear soccer cleats and gloves with the fingers cut out.   But we can figure that out as we go along.
