Orange Squad

Coaches and Program Overview

Orange Squad has a fantastic team of volunteer coaches: Fran Nyman, Bill Slater, Scott Puskas, Simon LaPointe, Ross Phillips, Darby Newnahm, and Leyla Weston. The coaches offer a skill-oriented program that will be fun, relaxed and social. The emphasis is put on the team concept and social activities will be an important part of the program. They will encourage and introduce competition as one of the many activities in conjunction with training techniques, but the emphasis will be on skill development and the "FUNdamentals" (agility, balance and coordination)! To learn more about the focus of the program please go see the Athlete Development Matrix
