A Message to Parents from Trainer John:
Dear Parents,
For the second year, my wife has volunteered to sponsor this program designed to encourage all of the girls to develop their skills through juggling. The program is self motivated and I will record their numbers once a month. All 24 of the girls last season made it to the Bronze level with two of the girls recording over 50 juggles. While it might seem an impossible task in the beginning (at least one of the girls last year said there was no way she could do 10 but ended the season over 50) through perseverance and practice I know they are all capable of achieving their goal. I recorded everyone’s score last Thursday and have attached the spreadsheet showing their numbers. It is truly amazing what juggling does for their confidence and more importantly the dribbling skills. I would ask you to ENCOURAGE but not force this activity as it should be something they should enjoy doing.
