Calvert School Wrestling 2013

Calvert had their first wresting matches of the season this week.  We squared off against Friends and Gilman and came away with some wins, losses, and many lessons learned.  I am very proud of my boys and their great effort!  Please see some highlights below:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 



5th grade CrossFit!

The 5th graders have been working on a a full-body CrossFit exercise called "rock-up squats + burpee," found here http://www.crossfitkids.com/index.php/Videos/.  This exercise is difficult because students are challenged to stand straight up to their feet directly from their back.  The 5th graders have continued to improve over the last few weeks, as more of them do not have to use their hands to stand up to their feet.  Great job everyone!  Please see video below:

 

 

 

Wrestling

Before winter break, I had the opportunity to teach a week long wrestling unit to Mr. Porter's 9th and 10th age boys in the lower school.  The boys were attentive, worked hard, and learned many wrestling techniques from neutral (standing), and referees position (top/bottom).  It was a great week!  Please see below for highlights:
