Heading into fall with a little Monster Ball!

 

We have been working diligently on the fundamentals of throwing in PreK 3-4th grade. Grades 5 and 6 have been working on the fundamentals of football and volleyball. 

 

Knowing the proper mechanics of throwing is pivotal in having success in a plethora of sports.  The fundamentals of throwing have been instructed for two weeks with catching being introduced but not emphasized…YET. 

 

We put it all together with a little MONSTER BALL. 

 

It was fun to see the excitement in their faces as they competed against one another. There was healthy banter, congratulatory handshakes, high-fives, and shouts of victory. 

 

As you are practicing throwing at home here are some review questions to ask:

 

 

For Wellness Wednesday we talked through how to be a good sport; in winning, in losing, as a teammate. 

 

A video was presented that gave specific examples on good and bad sportsmanship in 3rd-6th and in PreK 3-2nd we listened to a story about Howard Wigglebottom learning about sportsmanship.

 

We saw examples of growth as well as areas that need growth carryover into Monster Ball, and all in all it was a successful couple of weeks. 

 

We look forward to seeing more growth in the area of catching so we can move on to more games successfully and progress into sport specific fundamentals. 

 

We appreciate all your support and look forward to the rest of the year. 

 

Go Chargers!!

Good Afternoon Parents!
      I am looking for donations for the Athletic Training Room. Any gently used crutches (all sizes), walking boots (all sizes), braces of all kinds (knee, ankle, shoulder, wrist, etc) and sizes. I am hoping that there are some previously loved and no longer needed items taking up space in your home and you are looking for a place to take them. My hope is that they will hopefully stay on a shelf in my office but on the chance I may need to place someone in any of the above listed items I can have access to it quickly instead of waiting a day or two until they can be seen by a doctor. If your Student-Athlete needs the items back for any reason I have no problem giving them back or one of similar quality that I may have in my possession at the time. My office is located inside the Beal Gym and if I am in class your Student-Athlete can leave it outside my double doors and I will bring the items in when I finish with class! Should you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to email me and I will get back to you as quickly as possible! Thank you all for being so welcoming and the athletes that I have worked with so far have been amazing and understanding of what I do as well!

JV Volleyball played in the Wink JV Tournament last weekend. The girls went 3-2-1 with wins over Kermit and Fort Stockton, losses to Alpine & Denver City, and a tie in pool play to Kermit.

Great job ladies!

Tuesday night Volleyball opened the home schedule against Crane. The JV girls won matches against the Freshman team 2-0 and the JV 2-1. Varsity played well and fought hard but came up short 0-3.

Varsity continues play this weekend in San Angelo at the Nita Vannoy Tournament. Good Luck Lady Chargers!

Football opens the season next Friday the 26th hosting Holy Cross. Kick off is 7:30 p.m. at Coombes Field.

They are finally laying the rubber for the track resurfacing. Hopefully next week we will have pictures of a beautiful new track!

What I hope is the final hire in the athletic department this year, please welcome our new full time trainer and physical education teacher, Colleen Baer. Colleen will be joining us from UTPB. She is a great addition to our department and will be joining our staff full time on August 26th.

It doesn't get more West Texas-like than when the tumbleweeds make an appearance while Britton B. is serving.
