Athletes & Parents:
Happy Hanukkah & Happy Thanksgiving! I would like to apologize for the delay in emailing our training schedule for winter. There have a been a few loose ends we have been trying to wrap up prior to emailing. Loose ends aside, we’re excited about our winter training plan! The majority of our varsity and freshman athletes will be participating.
This year we will be utilizing three different training facilities and our coaches will be focusing on strength training, improving endurance and technique. Our core workouts will be facilitated at LA Fitness and our technical training will be facilitated at the First Ward Community Center and West Side Rowing Club. The change of venue should make winter training not only interesting, but also highly effective!
Before getting into the details, with some of our coaches traveling for the holiday and this email being sent later than anticipated, we are moving our start date to Wednesday, December 4th . This will allow time for questions and for parents to complete the always necessary winter training registration.
Our overall team wide training plan will be as follows:
December Strengthen and Condition LA Fitness
Technical Training / Erging First Ward Community Center
January Strengthen and Condition LA Fitness
Technical Training / Erging First Ward Community Center
