First off- Cobains on the late delivery. I had good intentions and then the new site switch- but alas!
11 PAX comprised of 3 adults and a terrific 8 kids (6 of which are from Paradise) attended this morning. All of the kids got F3 shirts and i could see the change in them as they tanglibly became part of something.
For warmups- we did traditional exerices but ran end line to end line in between. Next up, 5 cones were set out on the ball court- 1 in each corner and 1 in the center. Pax had to complete an exercise, run to the middle, exerise, run out to new cone. Next I found one of our water bottles following our water break. I had each kid toss the bottle however far they wanted, we all run to it and he calls out an exercise. Giving them ownership in this really keeps them engaged. Q’s- get them involved. They want to help, they want to be “the guy”. We then split off into teams and played 3 on 3. Newsflash- I didnt start in HS and have carried those poor skills into adulthood.
We had a great discussion on character and that #charactercounts. The boys responded well. I encourage any and all PAX to participate in G-fit. You do not need to be on Q. The more times the community sees your face the better! T-Claps to Chickenhawk, Deacon and Bolt for their leadership and passion here.
