Thank you for the Opportunity!

Any insights you have would be of great help. Our beach training has ended.  I miss it already.  Thank you for allowing Leanne McGettigan and me the opportunity to work with the athletes.  I really enjoyed the chance to get to know them better and watching them represent at the VOGO tournaments.  Good luck to the players who will be attending the SVA province tournament.  We tried a different format at the end of the training session; in the last two weeks, we let them come and play and work on all that they had learned in a game situation.  I promised to only coach if asked to by the pairs of athletes.  This allowed them to work on building the duos into a team.  They were allowed to attend all 20 hours each of the weeks or whenever fit into their schedule.  We would like to hear what you thought of this change to the training.  Did you like it, or should we have stuck to the training format used in the other sessions?  This feedback will assist us in planning for the following year. Give Feedback Pick a Fall Event to Attend! The Making the Cut Camps are coming up in 7 days.  This is the academy’s biggest camp of the year, with room for 72+ athletes.  We have a senior coaching staff of Darren Cannell, Robert Dziadyk, Stacey Thomson, Toako Chie Imamura, Michele McKeown and Jenna Maerz. The senior coaching staff will be supported by intern coaches, including Keegan Colleaux, Jaime Waskowic, Katie Young, and Ayaka Imamura.  The camp is almost full.  The Elementary School Camp has one spot left in it. The Junior High School Camp has three spots left in it. The Rookie High School Camp has four spots left in it. The Returning High School Camp has one spot left in it. Looking forward to seeing you on the court soon.   This up and coming week, I have set aside for private lesson at the IceBox training center.  If you are interested in a private lesson next week, go onto the website and register and then we will contact you to set up a date and time of the lesson.  This will allow some athletes to work on that skill they find a challenge and better prepare for the school tryouts.   We moved the School day Academy sessions and Jump training sessions later in the day.  Allow more athletes the opportunity to attend.  If you are interested, check these programs, they were highly successful last year. We are also adding in September the Thursday night skills training.  It runs for 6 weeks and allows for Basic training as well as advanced training. Hope to see you all on the courts soon.
