Time to get back into shape for the upcoming season.  I have been hitting the local 24hr Fitness with my speed ladder.  Here are some drills… Thanks livestrong. Thanks cheesler  

Hey Everyone! It is starting to get a bit colder here in NorCal.  We have to stay in shape during the off-season or on those rainy days between play.  I have found some good workouts to try and keep those muscles toned and ready for action.  You could do most of these at home or [...]

So I had my first day back at [...]
