^^ Group Strength and Conditioning to follow after basketball workout in fitness center 10-11:30 AM M-F
Girls Group Strength and Conditioning - During the summer, Monday – Friday, the fitness center will have strength and conditioning for girls only from 10-11:30AM. The sessions will be led by Mr. Macken, Morgan Bekter (Former UST Women's Hockey and Softball Player) and others. The cost for strength and conditioning instruction and use of the fitness center during the summer is $125 for all students. Go to the summer camp link to fill out the summer waiver camp form to participate in fitness center, or fill out the form provided at the May 2nd meeting. Please see Mr. Macken with questions about strength & conditioning and payment. It is strongly encouraged for all members of the girls basketball program to participate in this program.
Concordia Summer League
CDH varsity basketball players will participate in the Concordia Summer League. Two games will be played on Wednesday evenings at Concordia University in St. Paul. The league runs June 20 through July. We are also looking for individuals that are interested in playing in the Concordia JV league. Current 9th, 10th and incoming 9th graders can participate if interested. Please contact Jodi Loeblein-Lecker if interested jloeblein@c-dh.org. The cost for the league is $560 with a maximum 12 people per team. At this point, I don’t know if we will have a JV team or not, but would like to have one if possible. This will determine the number of players on the varsity and jv team and ultimately the cost. Ten people per team is ideal, but the cost will range anywhere from $56 per person to $46 per person. We need to have the team registration fee turned in for the varsity team ASAP to reserve a spot. Please make a check payable to Jodi Loeblein-Lecker for $56 and turn in the fee by Friday, 5/4/12 if you are planning on playing with the varsity team (many of you have filled out this form already and now need to pay). If there are more than 10 team members, the overage will be refunded to your daughter.
CDH Girls Basketball Camp
June 18-21th is girls basketball camp from 1-4pm for girls entering grades 3-6.
June 25-28th is girls basketball camp from 1-4pm for girls entering grades 6-10.
CDH Girls Basketball Coaching Staff will lead the camp with help from returning varsity players. Both camps will focus on fundamental skill development for the intermediate and advanced player. Shooting form will be videotaped and discussed with each camper. Parents and coaches are encouraged to attend the videotaping session on Wednesday to listen to evaluation if desired.
Summer Camp Information
BreakDown Tournaments
There are one day tournaments at select high school locations for teams to participate in the metro area. If players are interested, we are looking at participating in tournaments on Sat. June 22 and Sat. July 28. These tournaments cost $200 per team and each player would pay according to how many participate. This will be discussed as an option once the summer sessions begin. This is for returning varsity players only.
Communication
I would like to start a group email for parents and players. I have the emails for the current parents in our school system. Incoming 9th grade parents, if you would like to receive emails, please send me an email at jloeblein@c-dh.org to get on the list.
Let me know if you have any questions… jloeblein@c-dh.org.
Happy Hoops!
Jodi Loeblein-Lecker
