SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — The Santa Cruz Warriors kicked off their new “Get Fit” community program Wednesday evening at Kaiser Permanente Arena, hosting members of the Mini Mermaids/Young Tritons Running Club and other young families for a 2-hour seminar involving basketball drills, cardio training, and nutrition education.
Over the course of the clinic, Santa Cruz Warriors coaches worked with children and their parents/guardians to share a fun day learning about the game of basketball, the art of running, and the merits of eating right.
Following the conclusion of the day’s activities, Blue Man Hoop was able to sit down with Heidi Boynton, the executive director/co-founder of Mini Mermaids/Young Tritons, to talk about what her running club is all about and how they came to partner with the Warriors and Kaiser Permanente to be involved with the Get Fit kickoff event.
