VFW

This is just a reminder that we have now changed our practice schedule and will not have any practices on Saturday or Sunday until school starts. Our schedule will primarily be Wednesday and Friday based on gym availability. If you have time to attend a Jason Wright clinic on the weekend it would help your child tremendously as we do not practice dribbling or ball handling skills in our practices. I will be trying to coordinate special clinics, camps, practice sessions on some weekends in the next two months. These will not be mandatory but will be fun for the boys if you have time. The first opportunity will be next Sunday July 2 at the SCCCC in Irvine. I might have Jason Wright do a private clinic for one hour for just our team if we can get enough boys to participate. Please check your schedule and let Jon or I know if you would like to attend. The tentative time is 11:00-12:00 and the cost will be $20 per player. Jason normally charges $50 for a private lesson but is doing this as a favor for me and our team. The boys are moving along very well and right on schedule, we started to work on our press break last night, we need to start on our half court press and full court press in the next week or two. I will be having Coach Kevin Kanemura help in this process. We are probably the only 3rd grade team working on this so early in the year. We still need to work on our free throws and I will probably take a day just dedicated to this so we can catch up on our goal. Just a footnote from practice last night, I understand that most of the boys got out of school this past week and the feeling of "no more school" was just hitting them but they were not as serious as they normally are. I do not like using our gym time for running purposes as we can run outside if needed. Running to discipline is not my way of coaching, I just wanted everyone to know my feelings about this. Have a great weekend and will see everyone next Wednesday June 28th at Mariners from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Mark
