Anyone who follows competitive games knows that one of the keys to success is the patience and hard work of the training staff. CBA is fortunate in that it prides itself on a dedicated and enthusiastic group of professionals. Their objective is to teach the skills, to motivate the players, to develop a game plan and then to put all the pieces together to insure a winning pro­ gram.
Shifts in personnel and administrative changes are an inevitable fact of the academic way of life. Yet this year’s staff was strengthened by its newcomers and encouraged by a series of Faculty Development Days, featuring such workshop topics as learning styles and communications.
Unseasonably warm weather, delaying the typical Syracuse winter, enabled the faculty to produce a smooth opening for the Games while attention was fo­ cused on Honors Night, Parent-Teacher Interviews, Parents’ meetings and Open House.
As the year wore on, it became clear that the peak of the Games would be reached at Graduation when the hard work and hours of field and classroom training paid off for CBA’s competitors.
