MAC/PLYOCITY SPORTS PERFORMANCE TRAINING PROGRAM AT WEST CLUBHOUSE The MAC/PlyoCity Sports Performance Training program is a great way for athletes to take their game to the next level. After training only twice a week, athletes will experience significant increases in vertical jump, foot speed, quickness, agility and explosiveness. Adult and junior athletes competing in any sport requiring explosiveness, speed, core strength or jumping will benefit. The program is a terrific way for youth athletes to prepare for tryouts and competition in the fall and winter. The MAC is partnering with PlyoCity, the top plyometric trainer in the U.S., to provide its proven training program for members. The PlyoCity Sports Performance Program will combine a comprehensive series of plyometric and core strengthening exercises to increase performance and reduce the risk of sports related injuries. Athletes will work hard, but the workout’s fast pace and group setting make it enjoyable. The program is low impact and only twice per week, leaving plenty of time and energy for other sports activities. The program uses the same workout used by thousands of athletes across the country, including PlyoCity clients Misty May and Kerri Walsh. May and Walsh won the gold medal in beach volleyball in Athens in 2004 after training with PlyoCity. They also repeated a gold medal win in Beijing in 2008. Misty and Kerri last trained with PlyoCity on July 31, 2008, right before leaving for Beijing. Many area high schools and select sports clubs have trained with 24

MAC Membership Guide


Swim Team MAC PENGUIN SWIM TEAM Penguin Swim Team registration: This year, all interested participants MUST SIGN UP IN PERSON in the spring. Introduction Welcome to MAC’s Swimming and Diving Team! You will be asked to give your time and talent. In turn, the swimming and diving representatives (reps) welcome your questions and suggestions. We hope these pages will give you much of the information you need. TEAM GOALS: Learning. Our goal for each swimmer and diver is to learn and improve continually. A swimmer’s progress is easily measured by comparing lap times after every race. If the times are faster each week, the swimmer is improving, even though he/she may consistently finish in last place. In diving, progress is more difficult to measure. A diver’s meet performance is scored by judges, who sometimes differ. In general, however, an increase in the total points on a dive indicates improvement. Improvement, for the swimmer or the diver, is not easily achieved. Hard work and attention to instructions are required. Competition. We believe competition can be a positive learning experience. We encourage individual effort as well as team performance and good sportsmanship. Fun. The team situation provides fun for the participants as they build friendships and team spirit. There is also an awards banquet at the end of the season. Exercise. Swimming is one of the best forms of exercise. Any swimmer who conscientiously participates in practice is guaranteed to get “in shape.”

SWIM TEAM GUIDELINES Lessons v. Team In general, youngsters who do not have a good grasp of the fundamentals of the freestyle and backstroke would do better to master these skills in lessons before joining the team. Otherwise, they may quickly become discouraged if they lag far behind others in their age group. Even for many team members, refresher lessons are very helpful. These can be set up individually with the coaches. Practice Procedures Practices include two basic elements: teaching and repetition drill. A typical practice has a warm-up (usually a slow, relatively long-distance swim), stroke drills (emphasizing some specific lessons) and sprints or distance swimming (to develop speed and endurance). Parents should be aware that group practice precludes individual attention. The coach will make every effort to point out errors, give tips on improvement and teach the strokes. However, quick reminders are not always enough to change a child’s technique. If your child is having some difficulty with a stroke, feel free to discuss this with the coach. They may share some pointers with you or suggest lessons. Improvement comes with practice; regular attendance is beneficial to the child and the team. Please have your child to practice on time. Repeating instructions several times for the benefit of latecomers wastes coaching time. Notes on practicing It is important that swimmers practice the techniques they learn all the time, not just during the specific stroke drill Although the coach will remind them, you can reinforce this idea too. This means that the time to practice flip turns is every time the swimmer completes a lap, and the time to practice starts is every time a swimmer goes off the block. The best swimmers also practice on their own time to perfect starts, turns, finishes and stroke techniques.

Swim Team Parents All parents are required to work at least three meets, depending on enrollment. This includes time trials, and division dual meets. In addition, you will be required to work the conference meet if your child/children participate. Parent workers must report to the team representative no later than 5 p.m. and work until the end of the meet to receive credit. Those parents not fulfilling this commitment will be charged $100 the first offense, $150 for the second and $225 for the third offense and also denied participation in the 2014 swim team season. The money will be used to buy new equipment for next year. Parents who sign up for a meet and do not attend or do not find their own sub will not be allowed to have their child swim in the following meet. Parents are asked to let the parent representative know who is subbing for you. Note that the Gateway Swimming & Diving Conference prohibits any parent worker or parent representative from drinking alcoholic beverages during any meet, including the championship meet (preliminary, finals or a timed final meet). Such actions by a parent worker will force the team to automatically forfeit the meet. In the event that a swimmer/diver belongs to two participating clubs in the Gateway Conference, he/she may only swim/ dive for ONE team for the entire season. COACH: Head Coach Lauren Fonseca oversees an excellent staff of young coaches for each age group. Coaches will be introduced at the first practice and are available for questions and discussion after practice.

PENGUINS SWIM COACH Lauren Fonseca Head Swim Coach Lauren Fonseca has been coaching the MAC swim teams for ten years. Lauren is a graduate of Villanova University in the elementary education program. She swam for Villa Duchesne for four years and swam for Villanova’s club team. Lauren is currently an elementary school teacher and the assistant coach at Villa for the Varsity Swim team.

Dive Team DIVING TEAM GUIDELINES

Practices The MAC sponsors a COMPETITIVE dive team. The experience of the diver is not important. Novice divers are welcome and encouraged to join the team! Practices are held in the mornings and some afternoons. It is expected that all divers attend daily practice, and participate in a minimum of THREE dual meets AND conference. Private diving lessons are available for those who are unable or do not wish to participate in the meets. Practice procedure In diving, progress is less easily measured. A diver’s meet performance is scored by judges, who sometimes differ. In general, however, an increase in the total points on a dive indicates improvement. Improvement, for the swimmer or the diver, is not easily achieved. Hard work and attention to instructions are required. Parents should be aware that group practice precludes individual attention. The coach will make every effort to keep practice groups small, point out errors, give tips on improvement and teach new dives. However, quick reminders are not always enough to change a child’s technique. If your child is having some difficulty with a dive, feel free to discuss this with the coach. She/he may share some pointers with you or suggest lessons. Improvement comes with practice; regular attendance is beneficial to the child and the team. Please make every effort to have your child to practice on time. Repeating instructions several times for the benefit of the latecomers wastes coaching time. IMPORTANT RULE FOR SWIM & DIVE SEASON Those parents not fulfilling a two meet commitment (conference if applicable) will be charged $100. The money will be used to buy new equipment for next year. If a parent signs up for a meet and does not attend or does not find his/her own sub, the child will not be allowed to participate in the following meet. You are asked to notify the parent representative as to who is going to be replacing you if you decide to get a sub. Note that the Gateway Swimming & Diving Conference prohibits any meet worker or parent representative from drinking alcoholic beverages during any meeting including the Championship meet (prelims, finals, or a timed final meet) Such actions by any parent worker will force the team to automatically forfeit the meet. In the event that a swimmer/diver belongs to two clubs participating in the Gateway Conference, he/she may only swim/dive for ONE team for the entire season. Job descriptions are as follows: Bull pen worker - Keep divers quiet, organized and ready to dive Recorder - Records diving scores Slide Rule - Determines divers score Ribbon Writer - Writes ribbons and totals all teams’ scores Hospitality - Serves refreshments Parents All parents are required to work at least two meets depending on enrollment. This includes time trials, novice meets and technique meets. You will be required to work a conference meet if your child/children participate. This will be recorded and posted in order to show our appreciation for your help. If you have a swimmer/diver, a diving meet will meet your obligation. Meets All parents are required to work at least two meets depending on enrollment. At Conference, all parents must work one age group session. It is not recommended that you sign up to work during your child’s diving time. (You would miss seeing your child’s dive). Meets are held on Saturdays and typically begin around June 1 and end in mid-July. MAC Membership Guide

Instead, you should wait until their point is over and then request your ball back. • If someone else’s ball comes onto your court, it is polite to stop play and retrieve it immediately, but you may also wait until the point in progress is finished. • Netting is provided between most of the courts but should only be used if players on adjoining courts agree to have it pulled closed. • Please refrain from any outbursts of temper. Obscenity will not be tolerated. CELL PHONE POLICY Because we understand that cell phones are an integral part of our lives and no one wants to miss an emergency call, they will be allowed on the tennis courts. However, for the courtesy of others, we do ask you to abide by the following cell phone rules: 1. Turn down the volume of your phone. 2. Answer a ringing phone promptly. 3. Keep length of all calls to a minimum or take longer calls off the court. Cell phones, when left on and unanswered when ringing, are not welcome on the tennis courts where others are trying to play.

JUNIOR TENNIS PROGRAMS

Tennis

TOTS TENNIS (Ages 5-7) These tennis classes are geared to give young kids an enthusiasm for the game as well as to develop their tennis skills! With the energy, knowledge and patience of our experienced tennis professionals, your child is certain to have fun while learning how to play. We are committed to being good coaches, imparting knowledge, and improving each child’s physical skills and tennis ability. Besides these tennis objectives, one of our main goals is to let tennis improve your child’s self-esteem. To achieve this, we ascribe to the following coach/student formula: MUTUAL RESPECT + MUTUAL EFFORT = SUCCESS & SELF-ESTEEM Tots Class Times: Mondays, 4-5 p.m., Thursdays, 4-5 p.m., Fridays, 4-5 p.m. & 5-6 p.m., Saturdays, 9:30-10:30 a.m. FUTURE STARS (Ages 8-11) QUALITY COACHING + QUALITY EFFORT + QUALITY PRACTICE = CONFIDENCE & QUALITY PLAY We have classes available for Beginner/Intermediate and Advanced players in this age group. During this age period, kids are likely to have dramatic elevations in their tennis game. Having them learn the proper techniques, advancing those techniques based on their level of play, as well as equipping them with tactical knowledge, will improve their tennis and increase their interest. Our goal is to take each student and build upon their tennis abilities in order to advance them to the next echelon of their game. The Beginner/ Intermediate and Advanced classes will vary, but all of this age group will learn how to develop their shots, learn how to hit balls in varying situations, work on core stability and gain a better understanding of tactics. And, when they are ready, they will be introduced to competitive play outside of the Club. With the above “quality” formula in use, we expect the students’ games to expand greatly during this period of their tennis development as they learn more advance techniques, and we believe they, and their parents, will be pleased! Future Star Class Times: Mondays, 4-5 p.m., Thursdays, 4-5 p.m., Fridays, 4-5 p.m. & 5-6 p.m., Saturdays, 9:30-10:30 a.m. Advanced Future Star Classes: Mondays, 5-6 p.m. (Must be approved by a tennis pro.) MIDDLE SCHOOL JUNIOR STARS (Ages 11-14) TENNIS = A GAME FOR A LIFETIME During this age period, kids will usually play tennis because they want to be more competitive, and/or, they just like the game! Whichever the reason, THESE ARE THE BEST YEARS TO PLAY TENNIS! These are the most formative years for tennis players, and what a child learns now will stick with them later in life, even if they set aside their racquet for awhile. There is a reason tennis is called the “Game for a Lifetime!” We have classes available for both Intermediate/Beginner and Advanced players in this middle school age group. Our Intermediate/Beginner Classes will be made up those who enjoy the game, and players moving toward the Advanced class. The emphasis in these classes will be the same as those for the Future Stars Classes. However, the skills and strategies will be more advanced and the students will be asked to involve themselves in problem solving and decision making. Competitive games will be more match-pointoriented. All students will be encouraged to tryout for their school teams and to play in novice tournaments. Our Advanced Classes will also include more advanced tactical, technical, and mental skills such as developing offensive and defensive game styles, using different spins, and improving concentration. Junior Star Class Times: Tuesdays, 4-5:30 p.m., Wednesdays, 4:30-6 p.m., includes Saturdays, 9:30-11:30 a.m. Advanced Junior Star Classes: Tuesdays, 5:30-7 p.m., includes Saturdays, 9:30-11:30 a.m. (Must be approved by a tennis pro.) PERFORMANCE TENNIS (For high school and college players and high performance competitors) These classes will be divided into two levels similar to the way in which college teams are divided into Varsity and JV. The purpose of two levels is to guarantee the best-matched competition for all players enrolled in the class. Join these classes to prepare yourself for tournament play as well as high school or college tennis. We are prepared to get you in shape, and help you become match tough and the best you can be! Our pros have the knowledge base and experience to make this program the best in the St. Louis area. If you would like to participate, please contact Kim Steinmetz, ksteinmetz@mac-stl.org. Performance Classes: Mondays, 6-7:30 p.m., Wednesdays, 6-7:30 p.m., includes Saturdays, 9:30-11:30 a.m. (Must be approved by a tennis pro.)

All Junior classes begin the week of Sept. 10, 2012 and run through the week of May 13, 2013. Students sign up for 9-week sessions or may sign up for the entire 36-week indoor season. All 1 ½ HR. classes include a 2-hr. pro-lead and a play session on Saturdays from 10:30 a.m.- 12:30 p.m. CLASS FEES: TOTS: $135 per session or $500 for all 4 sessions FUTURE STARS: $135 per session or $500 for all 4 sessions MIDDLE SCHOOL STARS: $260 per session PERFORMANCE TENNIS: $260 per session (will be pro-rated for High School players) 10% DISCOUNT IF PARTICIPANT REGISTERS FOR ALL 4 SESSIONS **The Future Star and Tots classes use the new “Quick Start” tennis ball to help young players keep the ball in play, learn more easily and have more success.
