BKL 2-Day, 3-Day & DEVO Training, Week of 12/13

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 11 December, 2016 in BKL Jackrabbits, BKL Race Blog, BKL Training Schedule

We adjusted pole straps, learned how to kick and glide wax and even got out for some games on skis on Tuesday and had a fun practice on just enough snow at Mill River Park on Thursday. The three day crew had a great time up at Craftsbury on Saturday, skiing on some awesome snow and practicing race tactics.

Training Week of 12/13

Tuesday & Thursday Skiers: SKATE technique at the Range!

Please LABEL all your child’s skis and poles with their name! Lots of kids have similar equipment and it’s easy to mistake someone else’s for yours if there is no name visible.

Friday Foxes: tbd still waiting on specifics from Coaches.

Sunday: 3-Day Skiers & Everyone who wants to race: BKL Skate RACE at Craftsbury. Coach Rosemary will be there to help kids warm up and preview the course. Meet her on skis at 1:20 pm outside the Touring Center. E-mail Rosemary if you are going!

Too cold for safe skiing but we still have…

PLAN B – PIZZA – BK FESTIVAL PREP and SOCIAL TIME FOR KIDS

Meet at the Walker Building at 3:30 for Pizza Party and Arts and Crafts hour to make banners for the BK Festival

We will order Pizza and ask some Parent Volunteers to pick them up for us.
Estimate about $4 per kid should cover the cost
Bring Drinks (we have some cups and napkins left from Sunday and I will pickup paper plates)
Bring any old sheets, poster board, Markers etc to make things to decorate our MNC tent and NWVT gathering area. Make something to carry in the parade. Remember the theme is THE BOSTON SKI PARTY!!
We may start with some balance and strength drills inside so bring your running shoes.
We will also go over the Festival Schedule and answer as many questions as we can so parents new to this event have a better feel for what happens there.
Kids who are not going to the festival are also welcome to come and help as well as have pizza.
