Get the kids moving from the moment they get into the gym. Please be active and motivating so they enjoy warming
up. We will be warming up around the cones. All kids and coaches should be active. Have them jog, skip, gallop,
jump, hop, march, etc to get their muscles warmed up. It is Hawaiian luau week so when you have them stop they can
“Surf” “Swim” “Tan”. etc.. BE CREATIVE and have FUN! Word of the Month WOW talk too!
