• Boys Basketball (Fundamentals)

• Cheer (Tumbling)

  • On the first session, athletes should expect a full evaluation of their strength, flexibility, and knowledge in tumbling. In order to make and achieve obtainable goals during our sessions, both myself and the athlete need to know their strengths and weaknesses. 
  • After the first evaluation and a plan is made, an athlete should expect to see progress in their understanding of their skills, as well as additional strength and flexibility. After the first month, athletes should start to see progression in their skills. 
  • After 10 sessions, athletes should be able to show visible improvement in strength and flexibility, as well as advancement on skills. Do keep in mind that each athlete progresses and trains at their own pace, and therefore the results can vary. I believe in open communication about the skills being performed, so if any questions or concerns arise, I am happy to work through those with the athlete!
