When training has to be fun!
Do you know that you learn more if you have fun at the same time?[1]
Flyerz training on a Sunday morning is for children with disabilities. There are no matches. So, the only hockey they get is on the Sunday morning training. So, the session has to be fun! As you can see in the photos in the photo gallery Steve and young Ben get up to a wide range of activities!
- Ben greets Buddy, one of the assistance dogs for another family.
- Ben ready to begin the training
- Ben on Steve’s shoulders
- Ben (off the picture to the left) in a tug of war with Steve. Steve was the one who ended up falling over and he got a wet bottom. Ben found this hilarious!
