A Last-Minute Schedule Change Was Necessary

We have made a last-minute adjustment to this week’s Making the Cut Camp schedule.

Both groups will now train together from 8:00 AM–2:00 PM.

We understand that a schedule change like this can impact family and work schedules, and we sincerely apologize for the late notice. Unfortunately, due to lower numbers in the final week, we had to choose between cancelling the sessions or combining the two groups. We felt that combining the groups was the best option to allow everyone to continue training.

What to Expect

The athletes will still receive plenty of quality training and instruction throughout the day. There will be regular opportunities each hour to sit, hydrate, and have a snack, along with a longer 15-minute break between game sessions.

Although the daily schedule is shorter due to the breaks, we do not anticipate this negatively affecting the amount of instruction. With the athletes training continuously as one group, we are able to eliminate some of the repeated warm-up and transition time that is necessary when running separate two-hour sessions. The athletes will already be warm and engaged as we move from one training activity to the next.

Why the Change?

We also considered feedback from previous camps. Some families indicated that they did not enjoy having a two-hour break in the middle of the day, particularly when it meant travelling back and forth.

For this week, we are going to try the 6-hour training block with structured breaks and see how it works for the athletes and families. Your feedback from this experience will help us determine the best format for future camps.

We truly apologize for the last-minute change and any inconvenience it may cause. We appreciate your flexibility and understanding as we work to make the best decision for the athletes and the camp.

Thank you for your continued support of Making the Cut Camp. We are looking forward to a great final week on the court!

Regards,

Darren Cannell
