WEATHER - 9/30/2010
The forecast for the West Grove area appears to call for a flood warning, so we ask all parents and students to use your best judgement in coming to class today. In other words: no one blames you if you stay home today.
Our official policy is to use early dismissals and closings of AGSD (Avon Grove School District) as a call to cancel classes that night. AGSD had a full day. However, sometimes the gym must make a judgement call.
Today (09/30/2010) classes will go on as scheduled.
Should the weather become dangerous, we may end the night early.
To be fair, no attendance marks will be taken today.

KICKS CLINIC & INSTRUCTOR MEETING
Just a reminder about the Kicks Clinic coming up this Saturday...
When: Saturday, September 18th, 2010
Time: 10:00am - 12:00pm
Cost: $20/student
Cost if repeating clinic: $7/student
This clinic will be limited to green belt and above so that we can cover a large number of the kicking techniques. The clinic will cover placement of feet and striking points of the foot. We will work on proper technique, chambering for kicks and how to develop speed and power.
At completion of the clinic, children will receive their kicks patch which is to be displayed on their uniform below the Korean flag patch. Children reviewing the clinic will receive a red star which is to be placed next to the kicks patch. Children displaying this patch will be expected to consistently demonstrate what they have learned in classes thereafter.
Adult students are welcomed and encouraged to help hold pads and assist Instructor Bill.
-------------------------
Instructor Meeting
We will be holding an instructor meeting for all instructors (adult and youth), as well as those who are interested in becoming an instructor.
Being an instructor may not be for you. If you choose to be an instructor but decide it's too much, there will be no hard feelings whatsoever.
The instructor class will be held immediately after the kicks clinic at the gym.
A lunch at Aurora Pizza will be held for instructors after the class.
