School Day Academy and Jump Training

School Day Academy Returns

School Day Academy is a focused on one hour twice a week skill training sessions and once a week gameplay. The current COVID restrictions only allow 8 people in bubble training groups. The School Day Academy will offer two groups, one is grade 7-10 athletes and the second group is grade 11-12 athletes.
Each of the volleyball skills will be taught and athletes will be required to self-motivate themselves to become well-rounded players. The coaches will attempt to develop a climate within the practice planning, structure, focus, and implementation during the skills training to develop high intensity, success-driven, high communication, and team mentality growth activities.
The athletes will be given the opportunity to register for Agility, Jump, and Strength training sessions on their day off or right after their day of skill training. The game day will be an opportunity to play controlled 4 on 4 games to try to utilize the skills that were taught during the skills sessions. Game days will be on Fridays every second week

Agility, Jump and Strength Training

The jump training program is a program that was tested on the first School Day Academy and has shown a jump improvement in the athletes. If you want to improve your jump this tried and tested program is a high energy program and is easy to stay motivated if you do it at the same time as others. The program should only be done twice a week so your legs have a chance to recover.  It is possible to do only this and not the School Day Academy.

There will be limited athletes (8) at his session to makes sure we follow the academy protocols for COVID

The last three weeks of sessions sold out very quickly.  This will happen with these sessions of well as we can only allow 8 athletes to participate in each group.  Sign up early so you don'e miss out.

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.

 

Wearing a mask while exercising FAQ

Wearing a mask is one way to slow the spread of infectious diseases, including COVID-19. Yet many people see a mask as a potential barrier to exercising, particularly when away from home.

Whether you're already comfortable wearing a mask while exercising or hesitant about exercising with a mask on, these questions can help you decide the safest way to approach staying active.

Is it safe to wear a mask while exercising?

Yes it's safe to wear a mask while exercising, but considerations should be made. For example, it's recommended that you perform low- to moderate-intensity exercise rather than vigorous exercise while wearing a mask. This is because of the decreased airflow allowed through the mask which can affect breathing and your ability to properly regulate body temperature.

Examples of moderate-intensity exercise include:

• Walking briskly at 2.5 MPH or faster
• Recreational swimming
• Bicycling slower than 10 MPH on level terrain
• Recreational tennis, particularly doubles
• Active forms of yoga, such as vinyasa or power yoga
• Ballroom or line dancing
• General yardwork and home repair work
• Exercise classes, such as water aerobics

Remember to try the talk test. As a rule of thumb, a person performing a moderate-intensity aerobic activity can talk, but not sing, during the activity. A person performing vigorous-intensity activity cannot say more than a few words without pausing for a breath.

Depending on the activity, is there a preferred type of mask that I should wear?

Cloth masks or masks made of a moisture-wicking material like polyester typically work well. Paper or surgical masks tend to break down because they become wet from sweat and increased exhalation that occurs during exercise. Mask material should be no more than two layers thick or less. You should not use an N95 mask while exercising, as these masks have been found to increase levels of humidity, heat, breath resistance and overall discomfort.

You also may want to consider having a spare mask on hand to replace a damp mask. A great way to maintain good hand hygiene when changing masks is to carry a travel size container of hand sanitizer with you.

Who should not use a mask while exercising?

It's recommended that people with chronic diseases exercise alone at home, under supervision when required, without using a mask. Some of the most common illnesses include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, occupational lung diseases, like mesothelioma, and pulmonary hypertension.

What should happen when exercising with a mask on?

In most situations, you should expect to experience an increase in your heart rate while exercising with a mask on. Because of this, people often experience a perceived increased rate of exertion and decreased performance during resistance training and aerobic exercise. This feeling is similar to the physical and psychological effects experienced while training in locations at higher altitudes.

Before you exercise with a mask on, consider decreasing your exertion level ― that means weight with resistance training or mileage in aerobic activities, like running and biking ― to a lower level than you would have done when not masked.

If you wear a mask while exercising, be aware of:

• Dizziness
• Drowsiness
• Fatigue
• Headache
• Muscular weakness
• Overall discomfort
• Shortness of breath

If you experience these symptoms, stop and take a break until they subside. If able, remove your mask and try taking a few calming breaths. This can restore your breathing levels, and reduces the stress on your heart and lungs. If these symptoms continue or worsen, stop the activity. In serious cases, seek medical help.
