Girls are growing, learning and
having a blast at Game On! Boulder
Don't miss Week #6 Calendar Reminders Below
Dear Game On! Families:
It's hard to believe that we are beginning our last week of camp in Boulder. The summer has absolutely flown by and what a blast! We've truly enjoyed seeing our campers grow, mastering new skills, trying new sports, meeting friends and role models, and taking those all-important steps out of their comfort zones.
Have you ever considered just how much the coordinated movements and positioning in one sport overlap with those in other sports? For example, think about how the defensive stance in basketball and ready position in tennis - both have players on the balls of their feet, knees bent and ready to move in any direction. How about the motion involved in throwing a ball compared to throwing in lacrosse? Both utilize the same body rotation and follow-through. So you can understand how exposure and practice in a multitude of sports proves to be beneficial to our athletes and why Game On! works to incorporate a large range of skills, sports, and activities into our programming. (Our blog below digs deeper into the benefits of playing multiple sports as part of a young athlete's development.)
REMINDER TO ALL PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS, ETC...
Join us on Friday, July 15, for our afternoon closing ceremonies starting at 1 p.m. Family and friends are encouraged and welcome to attend as your campers show off a few of their sports skills and view our 2016 Game On! Memories video. Hope to see you there!
Yes, we are finishing up our 2016 camp season, but by no means does that mean we lose touch. In fact, we look forward to continuing our impact with school year programming, events, clinics and other fun projects. Stay tuned for more information.
We thank you from the bottom of our Game On! hearts for sharing your daughters with Game On! and as we always say, if you think this summer was great, JUST WAIT UNTIL NEXT SUMMER.
Your Game On! team

Spotlight on: Swimming & Tennis
Every week, our Game On! campers have traveled to the UC campus for swimming and tennis instruction. In swimming, among other skills, the girls have learned proper kicking form, breathing, and freestyle strokes. In tennis, they've focussed on forehand, backhand, and volleys. Both have also involved loads of fun. Even our bus rides over to UC have been full of cheers, silly games, and laughter. Every minute counts!!!!!!
