Agility with Micaela Holland

This morning the camp traveled back to the POLO Fields for an instructional session focused on agility. SDSC's own Micaela Holland was our featured coach, and the kids did a great job of working hard on a hot day in the sun. Micaela brought all of her experience as a U16 coach at GMVS and now the head coach at Bates College to design a terrific session.

Micaela took the group through a series of ladder activities before breaking the group into smaller pieces to bring up the intensity at multiple different stations. Campers were doing box jumps, toe taps on medicine balls, quick sprints in at T-shaped cone drill, and a partner mirrored agility drill. To finish, we played a great game of sprinting tic tac toe that pieced together all of the coaching points at each station. Competition was high, and we finished with the whole camp cheering on games between the youngest group of kids.

It was a great start to the day, and we are excited to hit the jumps and ramps at the Johnson Skate Park this afternoon!
