The short clinic is a fun and exciting way for players to refresh their memories on any tips and tricks they received during the Summer Camp Season. Skill Sessions are a good fit for players new to the game looking to establish the basics, but also advanced players trying to take their game to the next level. Coaches teach with enthusiasm and passion and new and exciting aspects of the game are covered each session with an emphasis on teamwork. Working together towards a common goal is a constant theme not only during Skill Sessions but is found in any T-Sports environment. We believe that in order for a player to excel individually, that player must first excel as a member of the team! Questions?

LEARN TO BREW YOUR OWN KOMBUCHA!with Lila VolkasHave you heard of Kombucha, the beverage the ancient Chinese called the “Immortal Health Elixir?” It’s been around for more than 2,000 years and has a rich anecdotal history of health benefits like improving digestion, boosting energy and helping your immune system. It is made from sweetened tea that’s been fermented by a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast (a SCOBY, a.k.a. “mother” because of its ability to reproduce, or “mushroom” because of its appearance). By brewing your own Kombucha, you save money that would be otherwise spent on commercially produced Kombucha and get to play around with your favorite flavors! Participants will receive a Kombucha Brewing Kit including a SCOBY, starter liquid and an illustrated “how to” guide. NO REFUNDS 7 DAYS PRIOR TO CLASS START DATE.$66 / $56 Resident Discount

CHAKRA MEDITATIONAge 13+with Vera Quijano, www.VeraQuijano.comChakras are junction points of spiraling energy that govern your physical, mental, and emotional wellness. They correlate with specific structures and functions of your body, and are heavily influenced by various circumstances in your life. When these wheels of energy endure stress, your body mind coordination is disrupted, and life may become overwhelming. Mantras are sounds that are repeated to aid in concentration. This guided meditation class is designed to utilize mantras to help you heal your seven primary chakras, coordinate and balance the energy between them, and revive your personal power to energize them. The ultimate intention of this practice is to help you create harmony and restore peace to your everyday life. Appropriate for men, women, and teens. Wear comfortable clothing. If preferred, bring a pillow or blanket to sit on.
