We hope everyone is doing well.  As a follow-up from our note a couple of weeks ago,  thank you very much for filling out the interest surveys.  We had about 2/3 of the returning families respond. It was invaluable for our planning. As with most activities in 2020,  it is taking a bit longer than we had planned to get the specifics of the options out to everyone for your review. We hope to have them out next week.  Until then here is a brief synopsis of where we are.
1) Strength and Agility Training.  We are working on final proposals from both of last year’s gyms/trainers D&I Fitness and GameChanger Fitness.
As in last year we are working on a 12 week program starting in Early December ending at the end of February/first week of March. These will be sessions with dedicated training staff for CHS participants.   Offerings plan to include options for sessions  2 or 3 days a week.   Due to COVID-19 the gyms are at reduced capacity so will affect size of players per session-fewer and may impact scheduling.   Players interested in training prior to the start of the CHS program can make arrangements directly with the gyms.
2) Skills Training.   The skills training is a bit more dynamic.   Last year we held our skills training at Millburn Sports Academy.   That facility is no longer available and neither is the West Orange Armory which the rec baseball program had used last year.  We feel we have a very good option to share with everyone that will address a number of the items that were highlighted in the feedback questionnaire from the training last year.  It is a larger facility with a layout that provides good options in spreading out the players and workouts.  Like last year we plan on having this training run for 8 weeks starting in early January running to early March.  We are very close to be able to share details on this offering which we are very excited about.
3) Other training options is a pitching program which we explore once we get the skills and fitness offerings ironed out.
As part of the details on the offerings, we will share the COVID19 safety protocols and plans that each facility has put in place.
It is our intent to provide details on both the Skills and Fitness options next week for every one’s review and next steps.
As always please reach out with any questions, requests etc and stay healthy.
