EMH PE Basketball Starts THIS Week-Why Starting At A Young Age Works!!

FYI. Contact Julian directly if interested…see contact information at the end of this e-mail.  

-------------------------------  
Hello Parents/Guardians:

I hope that everyone has had a great holiday season so far!

Our PE Basketball class is starting the first week of January. Shooting hoops, dribbling and learning how the game is played provides a great way for your child/children to exercise.

APPROPRIATE AGES:
Learning to play basketball is more than just “making a basket” and while that is the major goal of the game, there are other skills required to make it happen. The sport involves dribbling, throwing, catching and pivoting and the younger you start your children playing it, the more coordinated they will become. Beginning basketball training for your little ones improves gross motor skills by using major muscle groups. The younger children will gain strength in their legs and arms aiming for the rim. You’d be surprised how many will actually hit it or make a basket before the month is over! The coaches will give points for the effort of hitting the rim or net which will build confidence and makes it exciting for the younger players. Some areas will have smaller basketballs provided.

The older students will develop the same muscle groups and team building skills. They will improve their flexibility and endurance along with their hand-eye coordination. These motor skills will also transfer to other activities of daily life.

There are four (4) sessions in January and the cost is $28. The instruction is coed and is appropriate for ages 3-18. If you don’t have an account with us, please visit: http://www.emhsports.com/guide. If you already take our classes just log on to register at: http://www.emhsports.com/signup. 

To find a location near you please visit: http://www.emhsports.com/schedule  - just type in your county choices and click on “search” for the listing of parks. Don’t see one near you, let us know. WE HAVE SEVERAL NEW LOCATIONS OPEN FOR THE SPRING SEMESTER.

EMH Basketball Class Description:
Participants will practice dribbling, passing, receiving, finishing and shooting drills. There will also be plenty of fun exercises to enhance motor coordination. Proper footwork, positional play, crosses, distribution and a number of other techniques will be covered. Games will be played at each class.

YOUR CHILD MAY BRING THEIR OWN BALL - please have their name on it and remind them to get it after class is over.


Enjoy your day!

We have furs, pelts, knives and all the great things that boys like. So, Moms, sign your boys up to take this class and they will cook your dinner that night. Ha!

Much of this is a walking tour – a 2 hour adventure back in time to 1848. It all started here, back in 1848, when James Marshall found the first gold nuggets and the gold rush was on. Coloma wasn't even on a map, but now it is. Thousands of men from around the world began to arrive in this quiet little town. Come join Bruce, and see what happened here and how life was for the people of Coloma. Bruce will take you on a tour of the complete town and explain what happened. Also do you know where all the gold went? I'll bet you will be surprised to know. Gold was being found at 5-6 million dollars a month, and it went some very special places.

Math and Music Educators for Homeschoolers

Hello! We are Camillo and Danika Massagli, a newly married couple who tutor Math and Music privately.  We have been touring abroad for the past few months and are now back in the area until we move to our rural homestead next summer. We previously owned education businesses and are now taking on private students.  We teach from our home studio in Auburn, but can also arrange for in-home visits for families desiring either Math or Music training, or both. 

Camillo has taught in public school, has taught every math subject from pre-K to Calculus as a private tutor, and he previously owned the Mathnasium learning center of Folsom. He enjoys helping struggling students to find confidence in math, but he also has a lot to offer students who may be doing well in math but want a challenge or special coaching. 

Danika has coached and conducted local youth orchestras and choirs, plus has recorded original CDs and owned Purewind Studio, a music learning center, from 2005-2015. She enjoys helping students of all ages read, write, and speak music as naturally as they communicate through the English language.

With questions or to schedule lessons, contact us at harmonyodyssey@gmail.com or (916) 768-2342.  We also give occasional free workshops, so email us to stay updated about them.
