This was a very cool experience for the SPI Candidates to have. Many people who work in the single pitch discipline work with kids a great deal, so it was a grand experience for them to work with these awesome kids.
At the end of the day, the kids were happy and five new individuals had passed their AMGA Single Pitch Instructor exam.

Was that an improvised body harness made with some webbing? Good idea.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteJust the chest harness. Generally, anybody without defined hips should be wearing a chest harness. There are two groups that fall into that category. The first is small children and the second are people who are significantly overweight...
