morning.
(recieves poke)
day 1:
11.15 basic throws. beginning contact
12.10 basic throws. beginning contact
everybody gets these ones, to make sure understanding is in place for the rest of the days..
1. movement with a stick movement with a stick
2 lunch, play
3 doubles contact single staff transitions
4 free time to play, swap stuff, ask teachers
5 doubles contact single staff transitions
basically, day one everybody gets everything, the teachers are rotated, so you'll get time with all of them
sunday
10 arrival, warmup, picking your class.
11 isolations(mo) OR doubles movement(knox)
12 tricky throws (antti) OR ubertechy contact(me)
13 lunch, play.
14 presentation (knox) OR partner throws (antti+tommi)
15 ¾ staff stuff(a+t) OR thuuuumbs(the approving ninja)
16 sequence building (me + all)
17 sequence building
on day two, everybody is encouraged to BE ON TIME! this is because the workshop places will be allocated on a first come first served basis, chosen n sunday morning. this basically means there are 15 places for each, with all doing the last 2 hour smorgasbord.
the time for asking teachers specific things is in the gap on day 1, both lunchtimes, and saturday night, sunday night for those sticking around.
questions please....

yes sir
my only question is sticks. whilst i would love to learn contact, my sticks are short and light and probably useless, and i don't have the cash to replace them just now....
will there be spare sticks that are suitalble for contact?
other than that i'll do as i'm told

Anyone caught with non staff based toys at any point in the weekend will be forced to watch scotlands entry in the world baton twirling championships over and over again until they are really, really sorry.
