Final day of practice: hooo boy; always tricky to nail down. Y’all start to peter out as spring sports start up. We’ll continue to have 5 practices/week through 3/15 and then we’ll pare down slightly for the last 2 weeks of March. Then we do not train together in April. Summer training starts in May.
About summer: this year we’ll be requiring some degree of summer training for kids who want to do the Eastern Cup circuit in the winter. We’re also going to begin phasing out rollerski equipment rentals for juniors. More to come on both of those subjects, but consider this a heads up.
