New approach to practices and games (click to read article)

<br><b>Hello Parents</b><br>Here is a good article on the merits of dynamic stretches prior to a game and why I've changed our approach at the start of a game and during practices. Mixing dynamics and statics is bad practice, and statics stretching cold muscles also increases the risk of injury.<br><br>Stretching warm muscles at the end in a cool down is the way I want the girls to approach practices and games from now on. Please allow 5 minutes at the end for the team to go through stretches.<br><br><b>Cheers Coach Mark</b>
