Winter Soccer Conditioning Program
We
are excited to offer our Winter Soccer Conditioning Program at the Broadwater
Athletic Clubs. We have designed this unique program for off-season
conditioning. We have three main goals for this program. Our first goal
is to improve overall athletic abilities in speed, agility, balance,
strength, power, and dynamic flexibility. Our second goal is to improve
soccer-specific technique. The third important goal is to provide a
program that will encourage teamwork and leadership.
This program is designed for teams, but individuals will be accommodated
as well. Please contact Nan Brisko, M.S., NSCA-CSCS for more information
on these exciting training sessions. Nan can be reached by phone at
449-6905 or by email at nanbrisko@yahoo.com.
Cross-Cultural Sunday Afternoon Groove
Do you need to get friendlier with YOUR core? Do you need to improve
your core strength, rhythm and balance while you get the auditory feast
of listening to an African cadence AND get your heart rate up at the
same time? Of course you do!
World Sweat is a new Sunday afternoon groove at the Life Fitness Center
from 4-5 pm. Everyone is a dancer in their own unique way. The supportive
environment of this class, coupled with the simplicity and satisfaction
of this kind of movement, will make that clear to you.
Come check it out. Tell your friends. Free to members, $5 drop-in fee
for non-members. Call Nedra Chandler at 457-1231 for more information
or just show up for one or more of the remaining pilot classes on November
7, 14, 21 and 28. Barefoot is best, but not required.
Youth Programs
The Broadwater Athletic Clubs are constantly striving to provide classes
and services to our young members. We are planning programs for kids
of all ages. Look for information on classes like "One, Two and
You" for toddlers and "Little Gym" for kids 3-5 years
old. Be sure to pick up the new “Youth Programs” brochure
that will soon be available at all three locations.
