SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL CONDITIONING

Darran Hall’s Speed, Agility and Strength Training Workout

Who: Spring Sport Athletes to prepare their bodies to perform at a higher level!

When: Workouts will be offered starting November 16th and through Thanksgiving Break if you son or daughter wants to attend. They will love them!

Official Workouts begin:

-Monday, November 30 from 3:00-4:00 at High School Football Field (to the side of the field) and every Monday following.

-Wednesday, December 2 from 2:30-3:30 at High School Football Field, and every Wednesday following.

-Saturday, December 5th from 9:00-10:00 am at High School Football Field and every Saturday following.

Cost is $10 per session or $20 per week, getting third workout free. (Prefer checks at the beginning of the month payable to Darran Hall so kids don’t need to worry about remembering their money, and they will commit to the workout having already paid for it.)

Why: Darran Hall will help your son or daughter build confidence, core strength, agility, and speed. He will help reduce injuries, improve their ability to cover more ground on the baseball/softball field, improve core strength for hitting and throwing, and improve focus by being in the best shape of their lives! This will also help the coaches spend less time on conditioning and more time on fundamentals. Darran’s workouts will bond the baseball and softball players with mutual respect and help them see with hard work brings rewards. The kids will be able to feel the fruits of their labor during their season, and the workouts are being offered right after school, to make it easier to fit into their schedules. Softball and Baseball are the first teams we are trying this on, so we encourage you to motivate your kids to participate.

WHO IS DARRAN HALL?

Darran graduated from Lincoln High School and was a 7th round draft pick in baseball for the Cincinnati Reds. He played 3 years for the Reds organization and decided to go back to school and get his degree.

He then went to Grossmont College, played football for them and received a scholarship after his first year to Colorado State University. He competed for CSU and was fortunate to come to San Diego and play in the Holiday Bowl where he was voted MVP of the Holiday Bowl!

After graduating from CSU, he was drafted in the 5th round by the Tennessee Titans and played 4 years in the NFL and 2 years in the CFL.

After leaving football he received his Masters in Exercise Science and was inducted to the San Diego Hall of Fame.

Darran trains kids at Mt. Carmel, Poway, West View, and Rancho Bernardo. He is VERY EXCITED to work with our kids here in Coronado. He is an excellent role model, humble, motivating, and can demonstrate the exercises like a gazelle!! He will gently push your kids and take them to an athletic level they have never seen.

Endorsements or people who have worked out with Darran:

Coach Sam Ceci, Ryan and Susie Keeney, Kyle and Derek Teachout, Jaimie and Katie Centeno, Jake Meloche, Cissy and Dane Farguson, Kim Corpus, Annie Lovering, Ryan Herrmann, Marcos and Dan Cepin to name a few. Call us if you have questions.

GREEN FIELD HAS A WORKING SCOREBOARD!

After waiting many months for plans and inspectors to approve the installation of the donated scoreboard at Green Field, it passed the final inspection last week, and the newly installed and repainted board lit up perfectly when CHS Softball head coach Tony Isabella tested the controls himself.


Part of the crew who made this new addition to CHS' softball field possible got together yesterday afternoon to give the board an initial trial run. CUSD representative Larry Scott, Jay Kruer, CHS JV coach , as well as the Valle Family, donors of the scoreboard, were on hand to test the remote scoring controls.






A sincere thank you to the many folks who helped make this a reality for both CMS and CHS softball programs: Ken Kaminski, Sam Ceci, CUSD Assistant Superintendent Randy Allen, Jim Mazurkiewicz, and John Ovrom. Plans are in the works for a formal lighting of the board in the fall.

PROGRESS REPORT ON SCORE BOARD INSTALLATION
















The work continued Monday on the installation of underground electrical wires to power the score board at Green Field.
A lone workman at the site told me an inspector would be by that afternoon, or Tuesday, to approve the work done so far. After this, the dirt can be moved back into the trench.
Let's hope this will be done in time for Thursday's CHS Varsity Softball home game.

WORK STARTED ON SOFTBALL SCOREBOARD

As promised, the work to install the scoreboard at Green Field begun in earnest this week. Trenching for electrical power can be seen around the perimeter of the field, and, I am happy to report, CUSD workers have been at it consistently for two days.

Estimated time to light up the scoreboard is in another week and a half. Let's hope we don't run into any snags...

CUSD RESCUES GREEN FIELD SCOREBOARD

Members of CUSD met with John Ovrom, Ken Kaminsky and Suzette Valle on Friday, 3/13, and the school district decided to take over the installation of the new scoreboard at Green Field.

After months of negotiations with donors to get the board operational, the CUSD stepped in at the last minute and agreed to hoist the board on it's own base, and light it up in time for the CHS softball season. Randy Allen and Larry Scott said new code requirements needed to be met, and they would try to have it ready in approximately two weeks.

SOS: Save Our Scoreboard! Green Field finally has a scoreboard, needs power

The power of parents is at work again, but we need your help! We are looking for an electrician who can donate their time and talents (or if you know someone who can do this) to provide electrical power to the newly-installed Islander Girls Softball scoreboard at Green Field. Alternativley, we would accept a donation to cover the cost for this service.


The long-awaited scoreboard is the result of collaborative efforts between Alex and Suzette Valle, who donated the scoreboard now installed a top the batting cage at Green Field; John Ovrom, who donated his time and energy to install the green beauty; Ken Kaminsky, former CHS Softball Booster President who coordinated the transportation of the 300 lb ball counter and also found Kraig Nicolls, of Nicolls Designs, who re-painted the used scoreboard and helped with the installation. All this was accomplished at no cost to CUSD, CHS or ISF.


The CHS girls' softball season starts next week, and it would be equally exciting to be able to inaugurate the scoreboard on the same day! Present and future generations of Coronado high and middle school softball players will benefit from a working scoreboard.

If you can help our youth and community with this final step to illuminate the scoreboard at Green Field, please contact any one of the following people to make arrangements:
