Coaches for Sports Clubs: 4th-8th Grade Sports Clubs (which meet Tu and Th from 1:45-3:00) are changing for 3rd Quarter. In place of the Soccer, Football, Running, & Volleyball we will now have:

• Basketball: Ms. Curry needs help teaching every child how to dribble, pass, and shoot (triple threat), how to play defense, and how to play team ball. Thank you Mark Burgess for volunteering!
• Kickball/Softball: Mr. Cohick will start with kickball to teach the basic rules of “diamond-based games.” After that he’ll need help teaching baseball/softball strategies, throwing, basic fielding, ground ball, pop up, line drive), and hitting.
• Track & Field/Yoga: Ms. Lewis will need help preparing kids for a Decathlon with sprints, middle distance races, jumps, hurdles, throws (discus = frisbee toss; shot-put = medicine ball throw), etc. while also teaching them how to stretch and relax!
• Volleyball will continue (we have the net!). Mrs. Lehr needs help coaching every student to bump, set, spike, serve, and get ready for an end-of-term tournament.

The goal of our Sports Clubs is for every student to master basic skills, learn the basics of every position, and learn to play as part of a team. To reach that goal we need experienced coaches to work with students in small groups or one-on-one. If you have played any of our new third quarter games–basketball, baseball, track-and-field or yoga, and volleyball– please consider volunteering!
