We want this luncheon to be very special for them. The colorful necklaces are often on a beaded chain, cord, or leather strand with a glass pendant filled with liquid mercury, and they may also contain brightly colored liquid. They come in various shapes such as hearts, bottles, saber teeth, and chili peppers. The pendants are fragile and can easily break, spilling liquid mercury. Spilled mercury from any source gives off vapor that are highly toxic, possibly causing headache, cough, chest pain or tightness, and difficulty in breathing.
Long exposure can cause nerve, brain and kidney damage.
More information and photographs of the necklaces, along with instructions for dealing with mercury spills, can be found on the Web at . . . The Jr. Academy training program is geared toward the overall development of youth players, focusing primarily on technical skills with some emphasis on tactical skills. We hope to achieve this through a competitive and fun atmosphere using quality instruction. This program will be an enjoyable learning experience for the players and weekly assessments will encourage them to practice outside of academy sessions.
