Excellent BKL Coaching Blog

By Adam Terko on 17 December, 2013 in BKL Jackrabbits, BKL Race Blog, Coaches’ Education

This blog is written by an important coach in the Canadian development pipeline. He works most closely with young athletes (BK through early junior). All of his old posts are worth reading and he raises some excellent quetsions and provides useful insight for coaches — especially our MNC coaches working with BK athletes.

BK Update 12/12/13

By Adam Terko on 11 December, 2013 in BKL Jackrabbits, BKL Race Blog

BK Practice will be on foot – not skis – on Thursday. Our best information on the trail condition: yes there is snow but not enough to keep from going through and causing damage to the ski bases. It will be quite cold tomorrow so please make sure the kids all have adequate cold weather clothing. We will do a mix of outdoor and indoor activities.

If any parents have time during ski practice and would like to help out we need to move some firewood into the Walker Building……Thanks.

Bring on the SNOW!
