For each target they hit, mark down the point value, winner has the most points at the end of the 10 throws (or if playing solo, have them try and beat their previous score). For more of a challenge, have them throw their objects from a plank position (editor’s note: make sure your kids are retrieving their throwing object themselves…running and bending down to pick it up repeatedly is all part of the exercise!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c297ece509a47103ca426/1612902202780-60I70CJZ3JVHECIX8GVE/stinky+feet.jpg Independent Games - STINKY FEET WHAT YOU NEED: Socks A bucket or container for option #2 OPTION #1…During their movement break have your kiddo take off 1 sock and scrunch it between their toes, their challenge is to make it all the way around the room holding on to the sock with just their toes. As this gets easier for them, challenge them to do it on just 1 foot. Don’t forget to use both feet J OPTION #2… HOW TO SET IT UP Have several single socks at a start line Place a bucket or some other container 3m in front of the start HOW TO PLAY: Have child pick up the sock with their toes and move it all the way to the bucket without touching in with their hands Continue until all socks are in the bucket Repeat and see if you can do it faster next time If you have more than 1 child they can have sock races COACH’S NOTE: as they get better at the game, challenge them to not let the foot that is holding the sock touch the floor, this is a way for them to also get creative with movement if balance is a challenge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c297ece509a47103ca426/1612902225665-KLL0TRG8EWTEHGWO38SI/indoor+bowling.jpg Independent Games - INDOOR BOWLING WHAT YOU NEED: Make your own pins using 5 or 9 recycled plastic bottles (You can print out pictures to decorate them by rolling them up and slipping them inside or use paint or markers to decorate the outside). A small rubber ball to knock over your pins—or try a hard-boiled egg HOW TO SET IT UP: Play 5 pin by placing water bottles in a triangle with 1 at the front, 2 in the middle and 3 at the back (9 pin has an extra row with 4 at the back) Clear a lane in front of the pins and start about 5m away and mark a starting line HOW TO PLAY: Roll the ball from the starting line toward the pins, each player gets 2 rolls to see how may they can knock down Reset the pins for the next person Keep track of how many pins knocked down, the winner of the game has the most pins knocked down in an agreed amount of turns YOUNGER KIDDOS move closer to the pins or use a bigger ball to make it easier OLDER KIDS To make it more difficult, spin in a circle 3x before rolling the ball toward the target https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c297ece509a47103ca426/1612902248329-TZS3S92Q178NBN2YOMS0/throw+golf.jpg Independent Games - THROW GOLF WHAT YOU NEED: OUTSIDE 1 frisbee or ball or bean bag Several boxes trash cans or buckets large enough to hold your throwing item INSIDE 1 pair of rolled up socks 1 box or trash can to play HOW TO SET IT UP: The goal is to throw your item into the container. Choose a spot for the container and then choose a starting point. Estimate how many throws it will take to get the socks into the box, this is your par for the ”hole” INSIDE - move the box from place to place around your house OUTSIDE - set up a course in your yard with several holes, the end of the first hole becomes the start point for the second hole HOW TO PLAY: From the start line throw towards the ”hole”. Run to the object and throw again. Continue until you have thrown the object into the box. Reset the box and start line and play a second hole. Continue until you have completed 9 or 18 holes. YOUNGER KIDDOS Play a short course. Keep the box and start line closer together. OLDER KIDS Lengthen the course. Add exercises into play, such as run to the socks do 5 burpees before throwing again. MODIFICATION KICK GOLF (OUTSIDE ONLY) find bins large enough to fit a soccer ball and kick the ball into the bins, all other rules are the same ***this can be an all-day activity where kids can design and build the course prior to playing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c297ece509a47103ca426/1612902280470-O09DYF14S2U79URZS2K9/pick+it+up.jpg Independent Games - PICK IT UP WHAT YOU NEED: A bouncy ball and some items that can easily be picked up (I like using pylons) HOW TO SET IT UP: This game can be played on any flat surface, indoors or out. HOW TO PLAY: The player scatters the pickup items on the playing surface. Toss the ball is the air (it can bounce once) and try catch it before the second bounce. The player also tries to scoop up items and catch the ball before the ball's second bounce. The number of items to be picked up goes in order. First you pick up one ("onesies"), then two ("twosies"), then three and so on. COACH'S NOTES: Younger kiddos: use a lighter ball that takes longer to reach the ground such as a beach ball or even a balloon, you can also vary the number of bounces needed to pick up the item... catching may be a challenge for our youngest athletes so challenge them to throw the ball up and pick up the number of items specified before the ball bounces twice Older athletes: challenge them to pick up the items and catch the ball with 1 hand, work with opposite hand as well https://www.warriorathletes.com/aboutus daily 0.75 2021-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c297ece509a47103ca426/1613066717298-1GL4DF99LJMUVP63XI14/teens.rowing.jpg About Us - WARRRIOR ATHLETES BUILDING THE FOUNDATION FOR EXCEPTIONAL HUMANS Warrior athletes is a sport and movement program designed to encourage physical literacy, strength and overall fitness.

Photo by Sophie Novelo This was really hard for me to write, I have written, deleted, rewritten, procrastinated and agonized over the right words to express my feelings. My business coach challenged me to write a piece about what keeps me up at night, so here goes… Last week my son came home from school with the news that a boy we know from hockey, had taken his own life. This boy appeared from the outside to have it all together, a tremendous athlete, a great student, an all-around fantastic kid. This tragedy sparked so many emotions and made me ask myself, “What made things so bad that he decided that taking his life was the only solution?”. Then I started thinking about what we teach our kids when things get tough. Starting from a young age we tell them to just “suck it up”, “it could be worse”, “at least you still have…”, “just forget about it and move on” we say things like “so many others have it way worse than you”, “you should be grateful for everything you have”. We fill their lives with “Toxic Positivity”. “Toxic positivity is the assumption, either by one’s self or others, that despite a person’s emotional pain or difficult situation, they should have a positive mindset or – my pet peeve term – “positive vibes,” explains Dr. Jaime Zuckerman, a clinical psychologist in Pennsylvania who specializes in, among other things, anxiety disorders and self esteem. With toxic positivity, negative emotions are seen as bad and if we could just flip a switch and make all of our thoughts positive, life would be good again. The pressure to always look like you are “OK” can give our kids the impression they are defective when they feel normal human emotions like fear, pain and sadness which can lead to shame and the belief that they are inadequate or weak. Zuckerman says that “toxic positivity, at its core, is an avoidance strategy used to push away and invalidate any internal discomfort.” She also states that “Avoidance or suppression of emotional discomfort leads to increased anxiety, depression, and overall worsening of mental health.” An older study (Paradoxical effects of thought suppression - PubMed (nih.gov)), shows that when you try not to think about something it actually makes you more likely to think about it, “perhaps even producing the very obsession or preoccupation that it is directed against” With the pandemic, school closures, the fight against racial injustice, the climate crisis, political uncertainty, and all of the stressors that come with just trying to find your way in an unpredictable world it is not hard to see why our kids are struggling. Add to that the fact that their regular stress relievers have been “locked down” (the gym, sports, social time with friends, hanging out at the mall or the movies), our kids and teens are in crisis. Is it any wonder that our kids and teens are experiencing feelings they don’t have much experience navigating? We are all so wrapped up in a world of “staying positive” that they are ashamed to feel anything else. Unfortunately, as humans (yes, our kids are humans too), we can’t decide what emotion we want to have right here and right now. Although, we can choose how we react to those emotions, we can’t dismiss them. We need to remove the expectation that our kids need to be positive all the time (which to them often translates to prefect) and let them know that it is ok to feel the way they feel, that their anxiety and fear is a very normal reaction to a very abnormal world. We need to help them accept whatever genuine feelings they encounter, sit with them, and let them pass on their own. Our job as parents is to have those difficult conversations with our kids, let them know that we are their safe place, help them talk through their emotions, listen to them and validate how they feel, even if it is different than how we feel. We need to give our kids a safe place to land, that means not trying to fix everything for them but being there every step of the way while they figure it out. Not a parachute made to catch them before they hit the ground, but a hand to help the back to their feet when they fall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c297ece509a47103ca426/1617043879002-RKA00ZV5YYTEBT3XG9F0/on+the+sidelines.jpg BLOG - WHAT’S HAPPEING TO OUR KIDS??

Learning how to skip is a HUGE rite of passage on the playground! Do you remember those endless hours practicing with rhymes either with friends or on your own. First we mastered the single rope than worked our way up to double Dutch. Those were the days. I work with young kids on a daily basis and often see children who have difficulty with co-ordination. One of my favourite things to work on with them is skipping. Skipping targets so many of the developmental skills kids need to be successful in activity and in school- bilateral co-ordination, motor planning, coordination, jumping, strength and endurance, plus being able to do a double under is really kind of awesome! Here are a few tips to help you teach your child to jump rope. Remember, not every child learns to jump rope at the same time. It’s like riding a bike, the more you practice the better you get! hold the handles of the rope in each hand. Begin with the rope behind you. swing the rope gently to the front of your body then to the back. Practice this several times just swinging the rope from the back to the front. Don’t jump yet. Now swing the rope in front and let it stay on the ground. Keep the rope still and jump over it. Practice this step several times. Now swing the rope to the front of your body and when it gets close JUMP! It takes practice to get the timing just right. Once you get the hang of it, let’s try some fun jump rope games and rhymes so you can keep practicing. Here are a few cool finds… HELICOPTER- One child starts holding on to one end of the rope and spins it around low to the ground, like a helicopter propeller. The other children must jump over the rope as it comes to them. If the rope hits their feet or they trip over it as they jump, they are out. The last one standing gets to be the new helicopter. ZERO, 1, 2, 3- In this version of jump rope, less skilled jumpers get just as much rope time as their more skilled peers. Each player runs through the rope on their first turn, jumps once on their second turn, then jumps 3 times, and so on. When players miss a jump they re-do that number the next time through. THE TEDDY BEAR GAME- this one is a favourite of kids who have mastered skipping and need a bit more of a challenge. For this game you will need a longer rope and 2 people to swing it while one person jumps. SOME ROPE RHYMES BIRDIE, BIRDIE IN THE SKY- birdie, birdie in the sky, Why’d you do that in my eye? Birdie, birdie in the sky, Gee I’m glad that cow’s don’t fly. HAD A LITTLE SPORTS CAR- Had a little sportscar 248. Took it round the cooooooo (jumper hops out of the turning rope, runs around the corner and jumps back in). Ner and slammed on the brakes (jump rope turners stop turning). (Turners start turning again) Bumped into a lady, bumped into a man, bumped into a police man, man oh man, policeman caught me, put me in jail and all I had was ginger ale. Red, hot, chili pepper (rope turners turn rope faster and faster until jumper misses a jump. Teddy bear, teddy bear, jump around (turn while jumping) Teddy bear, teddy bear touch the ground (bend low before jumping up) Teddy bear, teddy bear tie your shoes (touch your shoes before jumping up) Teddy bear, teddy bear got the flu! (jump out of the rope) Invent your own game! Use your imagination to create any jumping game you choose. So get to work practicing those skills and share a picture with us (tag us on Facebook and Instagram), we can’t wait to see your mad new skills!! https://www.warriorathletes.com/developing-our-warrior-mind daily 0.75 2021-08-04 https://www.warriorathletes.com/general-6 daily 0.75 2021-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Christmas Activities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Christmas Activities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Christmas Activities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c297ece509a47103ca426/b4c76224-7967-41ed-8ed8-2f250f47e6ce/MERRY+CHRISTMAS.jpg Christmas Activities https://www.warriorathletes.com/safety-protocols-covid-19 daily 0.75 2022-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c297ece509a47103ca426/1640987015820-KLGC2434XQ69WQOH0QQC/isabelle+top+of+press.jpg Safety protocols COVID 19 - The safety and well being of our athletes and staff is our first priority!
