Training week of 11/9

[Back to the Club Updates page]

EVERYONE:

  • Attendance form! Please fill this out weekly to help us plan.

  • Training plan: still here.

  • Activity Center: keep an eye for signs advertising space use. We do anticipate some portion of the building will be open most days from here on out.

  • Winter training: starts for each group on the dates outlined on the winter programs info page.

  • Rental fittings: we’ve added a few more time slots and will continue adding them but would like to wrap up the bulk of rental fittings by mid-November. Some of y’all are dragging your feet on this; know that the best gear tends to get handed out first so hop on it if you don’t want the dregs!

JUNIORS:

  • Notes from today’s meeting: are here.

  • Eastern Cup travel: if you’re interested in some team travel this winter, please fill out this team travel interest form. It’s not a hard commitment at this point, but it’s helpful for us to get a sense of how many people want to go to which things.

  • Darkness: it’s going to keep getting darker for awhile. Get a headlamp. Bring it with you to practice.

  • Equipment: detailed info here. If you have gear in the clubhouse with your name on it that you intend to buy, please do so ASAP. It’s easiest for us to take a credit card in-person in the clubhouse.

  • Rental equipment: now or never, friends!

U14s:

  • Notes from today’s meeting: are here.

  • The jump from BKL to U14 can feel like a lot. Ask us questions!

  • Equipment: most of you will likely continue to rent equipment through the club as U14s, and that’s great. Looking ahead, though, it’s good to have an idea of the shifts around equipment expectations as you get into high school. We made a separate blog post about equipment, and though it largely focuses on juniors, it’s worth taking a look. Find it here.

BKL:

  • Upcoming dates:

    • BKL info session (virtual): Sunday, November 15th, at 4:30pm. Join here.

    • Optional BKL all-comers dryland practices: Tuesday, November 17th, and Thursday, November 19th, 3:30pm - 4:30pm (weather permitting). These will be on-foot in the fields. We’ll mostly be running around playing games. These optional, early practices are an opportunity for us to get to know you all, and for you to meet the coaches and other kids who will be at BKL practices this winter.

  • Equipment rentals: if you’re planning to rent equipment from us, it’s time to hop on it. We’ve added more fitting times!

MASTERS/ADULTS:

  • Summer masters will wrap up after practice this Wednesday, 11/11.

  • The winter session starts up on 12/3.

BIATHLETES:

  • Club Kick-off Meeting Notes here

  • Schedule notes:

    • 1-1s start this week. Jr U17 and U19s may sign up once for a Thursday 1-1 session here.

    • No Sunday biathlon this week due to Elmore.

  • Race Opportunities:

  • Weekly Dryfire ideas

    • 3-4 days per week if you own your own rifle at home.

    • Prone Breathing focus

      • 1 minute hold just breathing up and down on target. No triggering. Should trace a vertical line.

      • 1 minute hold, now add apnea and fine aiming (breathe cut then aim intensely on target).

      • Final hold- add triggering

        • 30 seconds eyes open. 30 second eyes closed. 30 seconds eyes open. Are you landing at target height after opening your eyes again?

Team meeting season has arrived.
