Team CSC Newsletter - November 2023
Member of the Month - Johanna Valencia Nunez
This month, our member of the month is Johanna!
Johanna has been with us since January 2022 and has come a long way in her CrossFit journey.
The progress from Johanna has been noticed across the board from all coaches on all the different classes we provide. In recent months she has been consistent and her technical ability on Olympic lifts has improved dramatically.
She listens to all coaches, asks questions and takes all feedback constructively and works hard to improve. She puts in the time in open gym as well working on her high level gymnastics to try and achieve desired movements.
Though Johanna still has alot she wants to achieve, we have know doubt with her discipline, consistency and patience she will continue to progress.
Well done Jo! keep up the hard work.

The CSC Christmas workout and social is always an event to remember, and this year will be no different! We will be hosting a Christmas WOD on Saturday 9th December, from 09:00 until 10:30. Christmas get-up is encouraged and there will be a prize for best dressed (so don’t hold back!).

An opportunity for your younger ones from Coach Ben Hillyard…
Hello everyone, I am excited to inform you all of a great sporting opportunity for your children, and/or wider family. I will hosting a new mutli-sports coaching morning at Yarlet School. Children of all ages are welcome, however we anticipate interest from boys and girls ranging from 5-14 years old. The first term will run from 12th November - 17th December. Using a wide array of sporting facilities and equipment, myself and two partners, Steve Proud, and Timothy (Tim) Bryant, will lead the lesson each Sunday. Every session will run from 9am-12 noon and address a different sport each hour. In our first term we will spend time developing skills in relation to Football, Tennis and Cricket. Our plan is to change the sports of focus each term, as to see progress within a variety of sport specific skills for children. For more information please see the attached flyer, or contact us (details on flyer)*
