FLASH week # 1

Recently, there has been a baseball team coming to Tekulve at 8:30am to train with us. The coach agreed to pay for the whole team, which is expensive if you have 11 kids going through the program.

The very fist session, all the kids had to go through a pre-test just like every other person that goes through the program. There were three workers, and each one had a seperate station. Nicki took the vertical jump station, I took the broad jump station, and Sean took the pro-agility station. Each kid would start at the one of the stations and rotate around until they were done with the beginning of the pre-test. After that, the kids were split into groups of 3, 3, and 3 to finish the plyometric part of the pre-test. There was one kid that wasn't there and had to do his pre-test a different day.

The second session, all the kids had to do run #1, which is the easiest one of the 12 they have to complete throughout the whole session. This run went well for most of the kids. Some of the kids felt sick to their stomach, but didn't puke as far as I know. There can only be at most 5 runners on the treadmill at one time, so the other kids were doing their weights. I had to show all the kids how to the machines, as well as write down all their numbers (weight, platform, lever arm). One kid missed this session and had to do run #1 at a different time.
