From the Coaches

Thanks to Coach Paul and the Shipley’s for their hospitality last Saturday for the wax clinic and barbeque.

This week we will be hill bounding at Rose Valley on Tuesday.  So please bring your bounding poles and, as always, your energy and positive attitudes. On Thursday, we will be meeting in the main parking lot at Parkinson Rec. Center (instead of Bankhead Elementary). This was proposed by Coach Deepa. We will ski from here on our usual routes along the Rails to Trails pavement, but will finish off with strength/agility in the new playground and outdoor fitness facilities. On Saturday we will be doing a long run around Rose Valley Reservoir. Please come prepared with snacks and adequate water and proper clothing for the forecasted weather as the adventure will likely be around 2.5 hours. Parents are encouraged to join us!

Hello Team,
