ROUGHNECKS PRESENT SUBWAY® RESTAURANTS HEALTHY CHOICES
The Calgary Roughnecks and SUBWAY® restaurants are excited to present the SUBWAY® restaurants Healthy Choices. The program offers in-school lacrosse introductions that include two options, the School Lax Demonstration and the Gym Lax Introduction. In addition to these two options, a clinic will be available for teachers to learn the basic skills of lacrosse to pass on to their students for years to come.
School Lax Demonstration
In the school demonstration the Roughnecks players will discuss the game of lacrosse, thier involvement within the game and where it has taken them. Included in the presentation will be the importance of education, staying in school, healthy eating choices, and physical activity. Roughneck players will demonstrate the fundamentals of the game using volunteers from the selected audience.
Gym Lax Introduction
Roughnecks players will provide a gym class introduction to lacrosse. The allotted time will be used to offer students a hands-on approach to the sport. The format will provide students with the opportunity to learn four basic lacrosse fundamentals: cradling, passing and catching, shooting, and loose ball pick up. The Roughnecks will highlight the importance of education and healthy lifestyles throughout the demonstration.
Teacher's Mini Clinic
The Calgary Roughnecks players and coaching staff will take the teachers through a one hour clinic at the Pengrowth Saddledome prior to a shoot-around on January 23, 2010. Participants will then commence in a practice where teachers have the opportunity to ask questions and see how the techniques can be used in practice.
