Athletes' Clinic

• $25.00
• 10 am until 2:30 pm.
• One half hour for lunch and there is no food on site.

The purpose of this clinic is to gather the athletes together and have some fun, while at the same time get in a good day of practise and meet and have the opportunity to work with a wonderful role model and motivator like Jennifer Marcus. Athletes in March need to be working on getting their routines perfected, and we know that time in the gym is what helps. A wonderful motivator for our athletes to practice, is to practice with others, especially some of their own competition. We are going to offer the following classes:

• one class that just runs athletes solos. We will do their routines to the music, starting off drilling their sections and then moving onto running the whole routine having contests on who can do a no drop. This means the athletes will be coming home with a good practice on their solos. This is great for every level.
• do your children no HOW to do some basic three baton. Jen Marcus, world multiple baton champion, will teach the basics that can be used in individual routines as well as team. Send your team and she can show coaches how to do a  "feed in" for their team events if multiple baton is not your thing.
• improve your two baton, let Jen show you some "cool new tricks" to be working on!
• Rolls, are always something everyone can get help with and improve upon. Jen will be looking at the athletes roll sections, offering suggestions of "next steps" or maybe how to improve what they are doing. This gives athletes exposure to Jen Marcus one on one which we hope is exciting for the athletes.
• Basic Strut Competition - for everyone! Like the old days.........who can march?

Once we see who is coming, classes will be tailored to fit the needs of the athletes. I am going to try and make it really a fun day, as well as a good practise and learning environment for everyone attending.
