  • 1 WINNETKA HOCKEY PLAYER SKILL DEVELOPMENT GUIDE The
    WINNETKA HOCKEY PLAYER SKILL DEVELOPMENT GUIDE The Winnetka Hockey Club’s goal for each current or potential travel level player is for that player to have fun playing the game of hockey and to develop/improve his or her skills during the hockey season. To accomplish this task of skill development, each coach is being given a set of “Core Skills” that need to be taught so that each player can properly progress to the next age level. These Core Skill requirements should be accompanied by a set of drills designed to instill these skills. They should be incorporated into the practice plan at every practice. Variations of these drills should be carried over to older age groups to insure mastery. To be clear, other general skills must be taught at each level, but the below described Core Skills will define the Winnetka Player. Coaches must teach the players on their team the Core Skills to ensure that each player can develop properly and progress to the next level of hockey. In addition to the Core Skills, we have also included a list of “General Skills” players at any given level coaches should be teaching and refining. It the responsibility of each coach to assess the players on his or her team and ensure that they are teaching the kids the skills each player needs to develop at game of hockey. Lastly, coaches should take an active role in instructing every player proper form and technique. Kids cannot learn if coaches are not continually teaching kids how to properly execute drills and techniques.

  • Basketball and Philosophy, Edited by Jerry L
    BASKE TBALL AND PHILOSOPHY The Philosophy of Popular Culture The books published in the Philosophy of Popular Culture series will il- luminate and explore philosophical themes and ideas that occur in popu- lar culture. The goal of this series is to demonstrate how philosophical inquiry has been reinvigorated by increased scholarly interest in the inter- section of popular culture and philosophy, as well as to explore through philosophical analysis beloved modes of entertainment, such as movies, TV shows, and music. Philosophical concepts will be made accessible to the general reader through examples in popular culture. This series seeks to publish both established and emerging scholars who will engage a major area of popular culture for philosophical interpretation and exam- ine the philosophical underpinnings of its themes. Eschewing ephemeral trends of philosophical and cultural theory, authors will establish and elaborate on connections between traditional philosophical ideas from important thinkers and the ever-expanding world of popular culture.

Ad Microsoft. Virtually every player on his title-winning rosters went on to do something else of note in professional basketball or elsewhere. And though it is set during the Blitz it has a lot of moments that are still relevant today that Manning identifies with but not altering the past history or making todays to present. While I'll admit I enjoy reading sex scenes, I found the ones in this book rather jarring - they felt like they belonged in another story, and I'm not sure added much. Welcome back.

    Carl Fabre 7th Grade St. Francis Middle School P.O. Box 1110 St. Francis, KS 67756 Mrs. Gibson 292 words Champions Champions! The Los Angeles Lakers has won the 2010 NBA championship! I was so excited that I was jumping up and down. I couldn’t stop jumping and screaming that day. My mom told me to settle down. She said that our neighbor Sylvia is probably wondering what’s going on in our house. My parents are not Laker fans. Every time we watch a Laker game they always go for the other team. The Los Angeles Lakers are a two time defending champions. They have won the 2009 and 2010 NBA championship. The Lakers have gone to the finals three times in a row from 2008 to 2010. The Lakers have sixteen championships which is second most in the NBA. In 2008, they were defeated by the Boston Celtics. The Coach of the Lakers is Phil Jackson. Phil Jackson had eleven championship rings, six with the Chicago Bulls and five with the LA Lakers. He has also coached two of the greatest players ever played in the NBA, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. In 2010 when the LA Lakers won the championship, it was the most epic NBA finals games I have ever seen. In that game, Kobe Bryant was struggling from the field only shooting about 6-24. Without Kobe Bryant, the LA Lakers could barely win. Then Derick Fisher and Ron Artest got into the game and started to make some shots. They made some three pointers and finally tie the game after being down by fourteen points in the fourth quarter.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. ARTICLES THE ECONOMICS OF SPORTS LEAGUES - THE CHICAGO BULLS CASE FRANKiN M. FISHER* CHRISTOPHER MAXWELL" EVAN SUE SCHOUTEN*** I. INTRODUCTION Over the last two decades or so, there have been a number of anti- trust cases brought against sports leagues. Some have involved restric- tions on competition for players; many have involved relocations or planned relocations by individual teams. In these cases, the plaintiff has typically claimed that the teams that comprise a given league have con- spired to restrain competition among them. The defendant leagues have denied that such a thing is possible - arguing that they are either, de facto, a single entity incapable of conspiring with itself or, at a minimum, a joint venture acting pro-competitively. This paper lays out the economic analysis involved in understanding such issues, using as a leading example the case of the Chicago Bulls and WGN (the independent television superstation in Chicago) versus the National Basketball Association.1 Professor Fisher, one of the co-au- thors, was the economic expert testifying on behalf of the NBA in the second of two lawsuits relating to this matter.2 The matter began in 1990 when the NBA, and its member teams, voted to reduce the number of games that could be telecast by a super- station.

    Warren Area Youth Lacrosse Email [email protected] Warren Area Youth Lacrosse Coaching Guide Warren Area Youth Lacrosse TABLE OF CONTENTS SAFETY Lightning Policy/Cancellations Heat Injuries Mouthguards First Aid Injury Reporting Equipment Safety IMPORTANT INFO Philosophy NWCYLF Code of Conduct Dealing with Problem Parents Coaches Equipment Uniforms Communication Coaches Corner on the Website PRACTICES AND GAMES Practice Plans Drills Notes and Diagrams Game Preparation * -Goalie Warm-up Game Rules * Game Management Warren Area Youth Lacrosse Cancellation Procedures It is our policy to only cancel when weather does not permit play or damage to the fields would occur. What to do if bad weather strikes during a practice or game. 1. Seek shelter and follow the 30-minute rule or use THOR(see below) if available. 2. If you cannot continue, please use cell phones to call for rides. 3. Never leave a player behind. Wait at the location until everyone has been picked up. Thirty-minute rule – Once lightning has been recognized, it is recommended to wait at least 30 minutes after the last flash of lightning is witnessed or thunder is heard. Given the average rate of thunderstorm travel, the storm should move 10-12 miles away from the area in that time frame. This significantly reduces the risk of local lightning flashes. Any subsequent lightning or thunder after the beginning of the 30-minute count should reset the clock and another count should begin. Lightning Detectors The Thorguardian is the first, totally integrated advance warning system for lightning. THOR GUARD has combined its state of the art lightning prediction technology with automatically activated air-horns and strobe lights, for single location applications.
