Dear Windber School District Families,
We hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. We are delighted to share an exciting opportunity that will enhance the athletic capabilities and overall well-being of our students. Starting on July 10th, we are introducing the Windber Sports Performance Program, a comprehensive initiative aimed at promoting physical fitness, preventing injuries, and instilling healthy lifestyles among our students.
The Windber Sports Performance Program will offer specific training sessions for each sports team, providing tailored workouts and exercises designed to optimize athletic performance. These sessions will be led by certified physical trainers who possess expertise in sports performance and injury prevention. Our partnership with Chan Soon-Shiong Medical Center at Windber's Richland Physical Therapy and Sports Performance Clinic ensures that our students will receive top-notch training from professionals with a wealth of experience.
What's more, we are thrilled to announce an exciting addition to the program: NEW speed, strength, and agility training for students in grades 4-6. We strongly believe in fostering a culture of inclusivity and providing equal opportunities for all students, which is why we have extended this training to younger students at absolutely no cost to the family. We are committed to investing in the development of our students' physical abilities and helping them build a solid foundation for future athletic pursuits.
Through the Windber Sports Performance Program, we aim to instill in our students the importance of prevention training and the adoption of healthy lifestyles. We firmly believe that equipping our students with the knowledge and skills to prevent injuries is as vital as developing their athletic abilities. By emphasizing the significance of proper warm-up techniques, injury prevention exercises, and promoting overall physical well-being, we hope to create a safer and healthier environment for all athletes.
We understand that your child's well-being is of utmost importance to you, and we assure you that every measure has been taken to ensure their safety during the training sessions. Our certified physical trainers will implement the highest standards of safety protocols and will closely monitor each student's progress to provide individualized attention and guidance.
We encourage you to take advantage of this unique opportunity for your child to improve their sports performance and cultivate healthy habits. Enrolling your child in the Windber Sports Performance Program will not only benefit them in their athletic pursuits but also equip them with valuable skills and knowledge that can extend far beyond the field.
For grades 4-6 interested families, can register their child for the Windber Sports Performance Program by completing this simple form. This will help us plan accordingly as we do not know if there is any interest in this opportunity.
If you have any questions, concerns, or require further information, please feel free to contact Mrs. Jennifer Boyd - Windber Athletic Director at 814-467-4567.
Thank you for your continued support and commitment to the well-being of our students. Together, we can empower our young athletes and inspire them to achieve greatness.
Best regards,
Mr. Michael J. Vuckovich
Superintendent of Schools
