Welcome Back...Let's Work!!!

Break is over and second semester is under way! We start off the new year hitting it hard in the fitness room. Using data collected during 1st semester I have decided to push fitness this semester to get the kids in shape! This week we have done some exercise ladders, Insanity and P90X workouts!!!! These are great programs that can be used in schools to help get kids moving efficiently. Below are some pictures of our KenpoX workout (boxing/kickboxing). Students really got into this workout!! Boxing workouts are great for increasing cardio, muscle endurance and core strength.

Let me know if you have any questions and as always...

Go Flyers!!!!!

Have A Great Break!!

We hope everyone has a great, safe and joyous holiday break!!! We look forward to seeing everyone back in 2016 (man how the years fly by) ready to work hard. Coach Hilton and I are excited to try some new things and push the students to be even better.

Be safe and stay warm

Health Week

Sorry for the delay in updates, my wife and I welcomed our second child and I have been out/scattered the last two weeks. This week my classes are back in the health room for health cycle 2. For the next two weeks we will be learning about diseases and stress. Pictured below you see one of my classes hard at work on their disease learning menu. The assignment and directions can be found on my website if you have any questions. There will be a lot of possible points for this health cycle so be sure that your child is getting their assignments turned in on-time. Contact me if you have any questions and as always...

Push Press and Dead Lift

The guys did a great job in the health room and swimming for the past six weeks.  I know they are excited to get back to lifting.  Last quarter we focused on learning how to bench and squat properly and how to lift using a one rep max.  This quarter we will focus on learning push press and dead lift technique. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

Swimming at Sperreng

Our swimming unit has started here at Sperreng and the students seem very excited to be in the pool. We started off working on four different swim strokes; freestyle, back, breast and butterfly. We progressed through the steps of each stroke and I have seem some tremendous improvement in a lot of our swimmers. For fun, we introduced Water Polo and Waboba Ball and they seem to be fan favorites. Even those students who struggle with swimming have been able to participate in our warm-ups and games. Please enjoy some of the pictures of students in action.

We will have one more two-week swimming unit at the end of January and that unit will focus on some water-skills and aiding swimmers in distress. As always if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

It's PickleBall Time!!!

The last two weeks students at Sperreng have taken up racket sports. Last week we played badminton and learned just how hard it is to hit a birdie. We learned the forehand, backhand and lob stroke and then utilized those strokes in various games. This week the boys have discovered the awesome sport of PickleBall! PickleBall is one of the fastest growing sports in the world that was invented by two dads who were bored with their kids and their dog. Pickles the dog kept getting the ball, hence the name PickleBall. Students here have really taken to PickleBall, which is comparable to giant ping-pong. Enjoy the pictures below of students playing PickleBall!!
