February Ends, March Begins

Some sessions are full and others are close.  

The end of February and the start of March.  Looking back on February, it went by quickly but was a good month for the academy.  Our School Day Academy month-long sessions were sold out as well as the month-long jump training sessions.  Each day I looked forward to working with the athletes which speaks volumes about the type, effort level, and skill level expended by the athletes.  We also started the Artist Elite Academy sessions again, those were interesting and we streamed live on Facebook and Youtube.  The level of artists was very impressive.

March is starting on Monday and I know every month from here on, Covid or no Covid will just keep getting better.  We have many of the February athletes returning and I am looking forward to the opportunity of working with those athletes and the new athletes.
Many of the sessions are full or close to being full but go to the website and check it out and we will see you on the courts

.

There is a new session added in March which will be well attended and I am looking forward to running them.  There will be a 6-hours-spread-over-two-weeks Mental Classroom Training Session.  This session will help Volleyball players with the mental aspect of the sport.  These will be taught in the team room at the IceBox Center

Things That I am Enjoying!

During the Pandemic, we continually hear about all the things we don’t like.  So I am going to tell you the things I do like.

1. I have had a chance to do a lot of drawing on the tablet.
2. I have been able to start a YouTube channel sharing my approach to drawing
3. The volleyball groups are small and include a lot more instruction because of the size
4. The IceBox although new is very quick to respond and doing its best to accommodate the academy needs
5. The sessions are almost all selling out. (small size)
6. The masks although difficult at times are workable and make it possible to practice
7. The athletes are going to see a sizeable difference in their play when it is allowed
8. The Jump training has allowed me to use my two Physical Education degrees and talk about the biomechanics of movement and jumping
9. I look forward to every day and the work at the academy as well as the opportunity to work out with my son at the IceBox
10. The Academy athletes are a nice group of respectful, hardworking young adults and are a pleasure to train
11.

13. A number of these sessions are sold out but do not hesitate to go on the waitlist and if I have enough athletes I will make another session

We have added new Sessions!

As the COVID restrictions continue the Academy is attempting to provide an opportunity for the players to train and the artists to create.  The restrictions only allow 8 participants per group and have resulted in almost all of the sessions being full.  From a business point of view, this is great news but it does mean that some athletes are not able to get into the sessions that they wish.  Register early and make sure you get into the sessions. Volleyball During the Breaks We have added Volleyball sessions during the February break and the Easter break.  We have added School Day Academy sessions in March and April. (Some of them are already full). Any skill level artists invited to these sessions We have added Artist Elite Academy sessions for March and April.  These sessions are for artists of all ages and all skill levels.  Come and learn to draw on a tablet. Below is the image we created last week.   Join us, it is so cool what we are able to create.
