HOLY NAME BOYS SWIM TEAM IS LOOKING FOR SWIMMERS

From the Holy Name Boys Swim Coaches:

Hi! We are looking to gauge interest for starting a boys swim team at Holy Name for Fall 2023 through the Holy Name Father's Guild.

The team is for rising 2nd through 9th grade boys (cannot be 15 before
January 1, 2024) in the parish and surrounding parishes and
neighborhoods.

Like all Holy Name Father's Guild sports programs, all are welcome to participate regardless of faith. Swimmers will compete in meets sponsored by the CYO (Catholic Youth Association).

Please take a moment to fill out the Google form (https://forms.gle/mET5TBTVjxLDRsZK8) and we will
be in touch regarding further information and tryouts.

***Feel free to share with any families you think would be interested and reach out to holynameboysswim@gmail.com with any questions.

Thank you so much!

 

WT'S WOMEN'S ROLLER DERBY IN NEW YORK TIMES

Greenwood Playground's Derby Fit class was mentioned in The New York Times story "Aggression on Wheels, With Bruises as Badges." Are you interested in joining Derby Fit? Get on the waiting list for the Saturday class by e-mailing greenwoodrollerderby@gmail.com.

JOIN DERBY FIT!

From Friends of Greenwood Playground:

We're finishing up our first session and loving it. One mom wrote "I had no idea it would be this fun when my friend talked me into it (I thought it would be some lightweight fitness instructor jumping on the latest fad!)." It's really great and you can go at your own pace. It's as challenging as you need it to be! We all leave the class pretty sore and really proud of all that we've learned.

What is roller derby, you say? It's a team-based roller skating racing game. Our brand of roller derby will not be crazy or too dangerous. It's really just a way to have fun and get fit while learning some interesting skating skills.

The first hour or so is on quad skates (sorry, no in-lines) and we learn the important skills of turning, falling, stopping, skating fast, and more! During the second part we work on strength and flexibility with land drills. Absolute beginners are welcome.

Check out the video. Girls in the Gotham Girls Roller Derby are all shapes, sizes, and ages. It's a great post-baby workout and a good way to make new friends!



You will likely need to purchase some equipment (4-wheel skates, pads, mouth guard, helmet, etc.).

ROOM IS AVAILABLE FOR OUR THURSDAY EVENING GROUP, or join the wait list for the Saturday class.

If you're interested, please e-mail .

Best,
Jasmina
