Up Next..

Well, we got through fitness testing without too many problems. A few students didn't wear the right shoes a couple of times, but over all, it went just fine. I know the students are glad to get it over with, although it does seem like some of them would just like to fitness test all the time.

Kindergarten update-
The little guys and girls are doing just great. They are well accustomed to our warm-ups, their squads, and most any type of transitions between activities. They have surprised me. They are a really good bunch!

Onto everyone-
We have been focusing on throwing and catching. Everyone from kindergarten to 5th grade has been working on this in some way. We have introduced the skills to everyone, and now we are incorporating them into stations and games. The students are throwing everything from bean bags, to onion balls (you can ask them what that is), and even footballs.

Up next for us-
We will be moving along with some more skills work. Once we finish throwing and catching we will jump right on into kicking and then onto striking. We will be visiting these skills additional times through the year as well!

Tell your little ones to keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Coach Jones
