Thank Goodness It’s Thursday!

Wow!  This week is flying by!  Thankfully, it was a little bit cooler in the gym today!  We started out the morning with a dynamic stretch and our favorite plymetrics activities, including jump ropes, tennis balls, crazy balls, and shooting straps.  At the end of the week, each camper is going to get a jump rope to take home with them so they can keep working on the plyometric activities.

We had another great guest speaker today – Coach Eric Dawley, who coaches the Oakmont Boys’ basketball team.  He worked with the kids on passing and being an offensive threat.  He talked a lot about the importance of teamwork and communication.

Since it was another hot and steamy day, we watched another shooting film in the afternoon, which had the kids giggling at the funny coach on the video.  We also took a popscicle break!

Other activities on Thursday included a variety of shooting games, scrimmages, and the Mikan drill.  In the drills, kids worked on using their strong hand and weak hand, which is always a challenge!

Congratulations to our knockout winners from Thursday – Kassandra, Sofia, Cassidy, Emilio, Chauncey, Aiden, Jayden, Aiden, Soleil, and Daniel!

Also, congratulations to our Daily Hustle Award winners – Hannah and Andrew!

And, congratulations to our Daily Sportsmanship winners – Maeve and Syris!
