Get your requests in for 2008 Summer Sport Exposure Clinics! Contact: Anne Weisgerber, 662-3242 e-mail: swra@sasktel.net  Preference given to communities that apply by June 15. These 2-3 hour introductory level, free of charge clinics are focused on sports that are underdeveloped and uncommon in our area. Ex: alpine skiing, diving, canoeing, cycling, fencing, handball, lacrosse, etc. If your community would like to host this type of clinic, please contact the Zone 3 Office with information including what sports you are interested in hosting, facilities available and names and phone numbers for local contact people willing to assist with the program. Sport Camps are normally 5-10 hours in length (depending on communities needs) and held over 1-2 days, with a minimal registration fee for participants. These are for sports that are developed in the community, but still need some work. The instructor will facilitate an introduction and the fundamentals of the sport. We require a local contact to assist with promotion, secure a facility and take registrations. Zone 3 will work with the Provincial Sport Governing Body to ensure a certified coach or instructor is facilitating the camp and will significantly subsidize cost of the camp! Contact the office for further details. Much like sport camps, these camps are held over 1-2 days, and are about 7-12 hours in length (again, depending on the communities needs). They also have a registration fee for all participants. They will focus on an individual sport but will be very intense, and are for participants who are already developed in the sport. These camps focus on specific skills as well as the mental part of the sport. Zone 3 will work with the Provincial Sport Governing Body to ensure a certified coach or instructor is facilitating the camp and will significantly subsidize cost of the camp! Contact the office for further details. **** NOTE **** At both Sport Camps and Sport Training Camps all participants are supplied with lunch (at Zone 3’s expense) and door prizes and/or t-shirts are given out. Kidsport is a children’s charity. It is designed to assist children of families facing financial obstacles to participate in community sport programs. The Kidsport goal is to provide these children with the opportunity to achieve physical, social, intellectual and moral development through participation in sport. There is assistance available through the Zone 3 Sports Council and the provincial Kidsport office to set up. The Zone 3 “Sport Explosure” Play Program is based on the Children in Sport philosophy; that children learn basic motor skills before entering competitive sport. It is not a typo – the program is so named because it gives kids a chance to be “exposed” to some new activities and it is an “explosion” of fun! This program is designed for children 5-7 years of age and is games based. There is a template of 8 different lesson plans (each approximately 45 minutes in length), which can be done once for 8 weeks or twice a week for four. “Sport Explosure” was piloted in Gull Lake in March, 2004 and was an overwhelming success, with 34 children participating! We are currently looking for communities that would like to host their own program. What we need from the community is a dedicated volunteer or two to help out with local promotion, secure a facility, take registrations and assist with hiring staff (usually a couple of local students that will deliver the program). Zone 3 will provide the lesson plans, necessary training for the staff and pay the staff wages for the 8 lessons. If you are interested in bringing this program to your community, please contact the office!
