Let's Warm-Up!

 This new series Let's Warm-Up!, started almost two months ago and we have been having a great time! I plan on it being once a week but sometimes it could be less or more. :-) The donation for this is a minimum of $3.50 US for each warm-up session. Please send your donation to paypal.me/vierabolter. The sessions are one hour in length. Those who want to donate more are of course welcome. Lots of people told me they like group warm-ups so here is one all can try. (They will not all be the same!). Anyone under 18 yrs. needs to make sure they have parental consent because of the use of paypal. If an interest develops, I will have a younger player version of Let’s Warm-Up! These regular sessions in general might not be as useful for middle school or young high school players but, there are always exceptions. NEXT Let's Warm-Up! is Monday 2/8, 11-12pm EST. 

Hope to see you there!

Of course if there are those of you that see ones you would like me to do, or would like a masterclass on a topic you do not see on this list, please let me know. Teachers might also want to have certain ones done (or suggest other ones), at their schools for their students. I am certainly open and happy to this! The price would have to be negotiated. 

I hope these prices are doable for most people. From what I have seen around the place, I feel they are reasonable especially considering their depth of content, live interaction and approach that they come with. If someone is truly in need, please get in touch with me. 

Hope to see you at some of these soon!
