JR WPH GOES TO SCHOOL
Junior WPH continues to hold fantastic clinics at Khalsa School, the premiere charter school in Southern Arizona with the top 1-Wall court complex in the southwest region.
Junior WPH not only teaches handball at Khalsa Schools’s P.E. Class every week but also hosts a weekly handball after school program. Young handball players are introduced to various warm-up techniques, as well as fun drills and games to improve all of their handball strokes. Sessions usually end with a short-court king of the court game and assorted cross-training competitions. Yesterday, [Feb 11th] students competed on a ladder and jump rope timed competition to improve their agility for handball. When the session was over the kids made their parents wait so they could play more handball! Growin’ it! WPH performs daily clinics on courts constructed by WPH Board Members and funds raised by the community.
