SOCCER Get Fit in Your Own Backyard - Fitness and Dance Classes at Evansdale Hall

Cardio Barre – Tuesdays 6:00-6:45pm

Barre is an intense body moulding workout designed to transform and sculpt the entire body. Iso-metric body training, body lengthening and “pulling up” as in dance training. Improves muscle definition in chest, upper arms and legs. Creates firm, elongated muscles and strong flat abdominals. When combined with fun, dance based, fat-burning cardio and a relax-ing, rejuvenating stretch component, you have a total fitness package. The perfect balance!

Strengthen, Stretch, Relax - Functional Yoga – Thursdays pm7:30-8:30

A gentle, Hatha Yoga-inspired program designed to strengthen weak muscles and stretch tight muscles to bring balance to the body. The result? Strong, elon-gated muscles, increased bone density, greater flexibil-ity and a strong core that will help you move through life with greater ease, prevent injury and relieve/prevent cronic pain while experiencing a greater sense of calm.

Zumba – Wednesdays 7:15-8:15pm

A fun, effective, latin-inspired carido-dance fitness program that allows participants to party their way into shape! Millions around the world have joined this program to move toward greater joy and health. Benefits include weight loss, improved cardiovascu-lar health, improved muscle tone, greater stamina and reduced stress.

Beginner Belly Dance – Wednesdays 6:00-7:00pm

Let the rhythms of the Middle East move you toward greater strength, flexibility and confidence. No previous experience required, just a desire to move, get fit and have fun.

Ole! Ole Ole Ole!

The 2013/14 Indoor Soccer season has arrived and Evansdale is well represented with teams in 9 of the 14 Edmonton Minor Soccer Association age catego-ries.

The season officially began on October 19 and will continue through to February of 2014. Games will take place at various indoor facilities in Edmon-ton. If you’ve never been to an indoor soccer facility, the action is fast and furious and it is a great way to spend the day, weekend or just a couple of hours. All games for Evansdale will take place on Saturdays and Sundays.

As usual, this season would not be possible with-out our volunteer coaches. It is through their vision, hard work and dedication that our children get to experience “the beautiful game” . A special thanks to the following people for donating their time to our community.

Evansdale Facility Enhancement Project Underway!

At long last the Evansdale facility project is under-way. This year we are doing phase one including the construction of a new all-season sports facility that replaces our old ATCO trailer rink shack. The new facility will have a soccer storage room, skate change space, a concession, and a meeting room. This year

we are also replacing the old rink lights with new, modern LED rink lights that will save up to 60% on energy use. We are also very excited to be adding a 10kW Solar PV system to the main hall. The system will provide electricity to our hall and save us 50% of our electricity costs for the next 25-30 years. We are also installing two street lights in parking lot as well. It gets incredibly dark there, especially on the long winter nights. We saved $150,000 for this project, added in $125,000 from the Alberta CFEP program and $275,000 from the City of Edmonton’s CLIP pro-gram to fund phase one of the project. The last phases will be done next year when we replace the rink, all of the old asphalt and add in a ball hockey court and a basketball court next year in phase II of our project. Check out the construction pictures.

Sincerely, Jeff, Jim, Rudy, Dave and Shawna from the facility

enhancement committee.
