Welcome BUSA Summer 2018 Students

We are extremely excited that our Summer BUSA Camp is coming up!

Welcome students! It’s the time of the year for our BUSA Summer Basketball. We hope for beginners to learn the basics of basketball while gaining a passion for the game like we have. To level up and step up their game is our goal for advanced players as well as to extend their basketball knowledge that will help them more in competitive games. Our goal is to provide the highest caliber of instruction and to bring out the best in each student both on and off the court in a fun, unique setting. Led by PBA Veteran Nic Belasco and Jeremy Bartolo, students will be taught the same drills and values used by PBA players for them to have a great impact not only in court, but also in life. Sportsmanship, teamwork, passion, competitiveness through basketball all build a good work ethic for the future.

See you guys at City Club Basketball Court!

BUSA Holiday Workouts

We are right in the thick of the holiday season. It is easy for one to go the unhealthy route, with all of the delicious food available at get togethers and gatherings. So we put together a couple of things you can do to keep in shape and power through the season with a happy and healthy body!

1. Jumping Jacks. Do jumping jacks for at least two minutes.

2. Side Lunges. Stand holding 5 to 8- pound dumbbells. Step your right leg out to the right and bend your right knee to 90 degrees, reaching your hands down on both sides of your foot. Push off your right foot to return to standing position, with your right foot directly in front of your left foot, arms sweeping up with palms facing in. Repeat on left side with your left foot stepping behind your right as you return to center. That is one rep. Do at least 24 reps.

3.  Line Hops. Step or hop sideways over a stretched-out jump rope for 2 minutes.

4. Glute Bridges/ Single Leg Raises. Lying on your back with your knees up and feet elevated on a platform, lift your hips off the ground so that your torso and thighs are level, then lower back down slowly. Perform this 20 times. Progress to single leg glute bridges where you’ll be in a similar position, but this time raise one leg completely off the floor and in the air. From this position, lift your hips off the ground, keeping them level as you balance all the way to the top, hold and then slowly lower back down. After 20 reps change legs.

5. Pikes. Lying on the ground facing up, extend your hands above your head and keep them together. From this position perform a crunch and bring your arms and feet together while keeping them as straight as possible, and then bring back down to straight position. Perform 20 reps.

6. Lunge Twists. In a standing position, take a step forward and perform a lunge by dropping the back knee and hips towards the ground, low enough to just hover above the ground. In that low position, slowly rotate your trunk towards the knee that’s up with your arms facing the direction you’re twisting. Then twist your trunk back so your body is straight again, and make your way back up to the starting position standing up. Perform 2 reps on each side of the leg.

Doing these exercises on a regular basis will keep you fit and fresh this holiday season. Keep at it!
