4SS & Galassos Performance Training Team Up in 2010

Hello Everyone,

When Brock and I were chatting on the phone recently, discussing what would make sense for the first posting, I decided that I would post some links to my Blog. These links discuss the question that I receive the most and that is how do I get more fit? What you need to is HIIT it. HIIT is High Intensity Interval Training. To find out more about HIIT click on the links below to read about it as well as see a video demonstration of the training.

Also, if you have any specific training questions related to Four Season Sports please feel free to e-mail me at mgalasso@golden.net and I will post a response to some of those questions on my Blog.

Yours in Performance Training,

Michael Galasso www.galasso.ca/GPT/GPT.html

SYL APPS CENTRE HAS ATHLETIC FUTURE

Parisians may finally learn the fate of the Syl Apps arena once the ice surface disappears for good this spring. The revitalization of the downtown arena as an indoor year round facility could soon be underway.

A county committee has been struggling to find life for the downtown Paris facility, a mainstay of the community, after its ice surfaces disappear next year when the new twin pad opens. The committee, that includes all four Paris councillors, decided Monday night to ask county council to proceed with an RFP process to convert the arena so that it could be used all year round as a multi purpose venue. Preliminary estimates peg the conversion costs at about $250,000.

4SSVB - Four Season Sports Volleyball

4SSVB Four Season Sports is excited to unveil and share our latest addition to the 4SS family of sports – 4SSVB. With a date
still yet to be determined 4SSVB – Four Season Sports Volleyball is a sport that has amazing potential for growth. Currently there are no active beach volleyball leagues in the Brant County area. It is an untapped market with opportunity for leagues, tournaments and exciting showcase events. It offers those wanting to play in our community an opportunity to do just that and those outside users looking for competition a new venue to experience the game.

We will not stop there as our passion is for sport and its ability to bring people together. Once 4SSVB is up and running we will host the 1st Annual Corporate Cup Challenge that will bring business together to compete against one another in an exciting sporting atmosphere. More details to follow in the spring.

4SSRH Purchases Ice Court Pro Inline Floor

Always looking to improve our roller hockey programs 4SSRH is proud to announce the purchase of Ice Court Pro inline flooring. The floor has just over one full year of usage and will be a welcome addition to the CRHL – Canning Roller Hockey League which is the mens league as well as the youth and ladies programs scheduled for the 2010 season.
The following is an excerpt directly from the Ice Court website. www.icecourt.com
IceCourt Pro was designed to simulate the same feel, skating characteristics and puck behaviour as ice hockey while using inline skates. It was designed to be left in place during winter, by freezing it in the ice. The combination of a faster puck together with a super fast skating surface has made the game of inline hockey as exciting as ice hockey.

WHAT'S NEW FOR 4SS IN 2010?

We have begun the process of looking into a specialized floor for the Syl Apps Community Centre. This will be a rather large investment but one that we know will improve the league. The questions that I get asked when I talk about purchasing a floor are great questions and I thought I would share them and give you all an opportunity to read. Will the cost to play in the league increase? Will you switch from a ball to a puck? Since this is the last ice season coming up at Syl Apps will you look to run leagues all year round? Is Four Season Sports looking to run any other sports out of Syl Apps?

DID YOU KNOW?

Roller hockey was one of three demonstration sports included in the official Olympic programme of the 1992 Summer Olympics, held in Barcelona. This sport's widespread popularity and the existence of top-level competitive teams in Catalonia (such as FC Barcelona and Reus Deportiu Hockey) prompted the Organizing Committee to suggest its inclusion in the Olympic programme.
