Expanded nutrition resources
At the recent Regional Elite Group camp for NENSA athletes, there was a great presentation and workshop with nutritionist Megan Chacosky. Megan was kind enough to share a wealth of resources and links with campers and coaches, and with her permission I have added those materials to our Nutrition Resources page (which can be found on the “Resources” dropdown menu off the MNC homepage, as well as below).

MNC Sports Bras!
Last summer Virginia Cobb put together an order for some MNC sports bras, and they were a big hit! This year the order is coming back, this time with more color options! For 2022 this will be a small fundraiser as well, with $5 of each order going to the MNC Scholarship Fund.
Use the order form below to submit an order (due June 24th) and view images and links to products and sizes.

Intro Rollerski Clinic 1 Recap
We had a perfect weather day and a great crew for our first Intro Rollerski Clinic on Saturday. Skiers aged 7 to 53 all joined in and rolled around the parking lots, paths, and roads near Allen Brook School.
Things got going with some safety tips, some off-ski drills, and some warmup exercises. It wasn’t long before skis were on and people were feeling comfortable moving around, slowing down, and even gracefully scooting around cones or tossing a football while skiing!
Our next clinic is July 9th, and you can RSVP via the link here.
Sara and I were joined by guest coaches (Juniors) Rye and Taylor…thanks for helping out! By the end of the session everyone was out exploring beyond the parking lot, and hopefully we’ll see some new faces out on the pavement this summer. You can find additional photos in the MNC Spring/Summer ’22 Flickr album.
