Watch out for these two

One of the fun things about working with youth athletes is that they tend to be real characters.

Sometimes, they take the "character" part pretty far.

It doesn't always work out. Many times, though, it's pretty darned entertaining.

This was one of those times. In the video linked below, you're going to meet 2 hard-working
female athletes who like to have fun. They often fall into the "entertaining" category, but this
was a real winner!

Go watch the video, it's all of 40 seconds long, and sure to leave you chuckling.



After, if you want to know how they have so much fun "at the gym," you can contact us here:

Old gloves, bats, cleats never die

Do you have used bats, gloves, cleats or baseball pants taking up room in your garage, basement or closet?

If you've outgrown it, replaced it or no longer need it, bring it to the TRELL Equipment Swap Drive for 2009!

Bring any or all items (no helmets, please!) to the TRELL indoor practice facility on Saturday, February 21st,

Then, any player, parent, coach or league member who can use the equipment will be able to get it F.R.E.E!

Team Training

Why let All-Star Sports Academy develop and run YOUR Team Training program?

The facts are:

1. Teams that train together year round perform better! Many collegiate and even high school teams have a year-round training program in place. Available to everyone, these programs guarantee progressive athletic skill-set improvement. Pairing this development with the reinforcement of sport-specific skills assures maximal off-season and pre-season improvement!
2. Teams that have a scientifically rational, progressive training system suffer fewer early injuries! The truth is that when athletes enter their seasons ready to play and at maximal conditioning levels, their teams suffer fewer injuries in the tryout/pre-season prep phase.
3. Teams with organized in-season training programs suffer fewer injuries during the season! In 2005, the University of Maryland men's soccer team used an in-season program of 30-35 minutes of functional sports fitness training 3 times a week. In that season, Maryland won the National Championship! They reduced their injury rate, increased output on the field, and basically blew by their opponents!
4. Teams that train functionally improve fastest! Functional Sports Fitness Training is the fastest and most efficient way to convert physical and athletic skills into sport-specific skill mastery! Core training feeds strength training. Strength training feeds power training. Power training feeds speed and agility training. The combined athletic skill-sets make it easier for athletes to master sport-specific skills and apply them at game time.
5. Teams that train together overcome adversity and have more fun! When they work hard together, they're ready to take it to the field, court or ice together! Challenges become minimized and victory simply becomes part of the team culture! Isn't that why we play our sports? Because winning is more fun than losing?!?

Coaches!! Let's get started now! Contact us and we'll help you get your Team Training Program on track to get real results!!

Sorry? Not good enough!

"I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment...I'm 23 years old and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again."

This is the line of crap Michael Phelps wants you and I, and every sports fan to believe.

His age and "youthfulness" are supposed to make us forget the fact that all across America, youngsters have been let down by this fraud.

I held my tongue when he sold out to Kelloggs Frosted Flakes and every other company with a fat checkbook.

Not now, though.

Hey Phelps...you're a role model, like it or not. In a world where idiot politicians "forget" to pay their taxes, then get fat government positions ANYWAY, you WERE a guy we thought we could look to as an example of what hard, smart work and dedication could get you if you simply committed yourself.

Apparently not. That image, that hope has apparently gone up in smoke.

I hope it was worth it, Michael.
