Hey all, this is Ben checking in again from up in Belfast.
Well there's been a lot happening these last few days, and it's hard to know where to begin. Emily is still continuing her drive for recruitment at the PE classes of Girls' Model and St. Louise's. Her infectious enthusiasm is starting to rub off on the students there which should be a great shot in the arm for our girl's program; it is up to the rest of us now to ensure that we're maintaining her high standards across the city.
Some schools have been a bit slow to get back into the swing of things after the mid-term break, but we're starting to get back to normalcy again now. I'm very impressed by the turnout for my Thursday sessions at St. Joe's, where we have up to 10 of the younger kids coming along. The standard among these guys is quite high so the future of the Blazers' program is unquestionably in good hands. Similarly the overwhelmingly positive responses we have been getting from our primary schools indicates that there is going to be a solid base for our program in the coming years. At yesterday's primary school session we managed to find some hurdles and ladders and did a great impromptu Speed, agility, quickness work-out for the kids, which went down very well. It's a challenge for us to keep the sessions different and enjoyable for the children but I think it definitely pays off for both coaches and kids and leads to a higher level of development for everyone involved.
That's about all for the time being, we'll continue updating this regularly though so remember to keep checking in.
