| Skiing Coach Hamann's 2019 mile in 2019. Yep it was done in my pajamas! |
Now on to the craziness of the next 7 weeks.
As I reported before the break we now have only one bus per practice. This means we have to ask skiers to commit to either Monday/Wednesday/ Friday or Tuesday/Thursday/ Friday.
Monday/ Wednesday- will be focused on racing. This means harder workouts, technique and a focused day. Please come to practice with the mind set of listening to the coaches, doing the workout and getting faster! Those thinking of not participating in these practices will be asked to come on the other days for practice.
Tuesday/Thursday- These days will be focused on skiing trails, exploring the surroundings and having a more casual day. This is for you if you never plan on going to a race or do not care to get faster.
Fridays will be spent in town working on skis. If you plan on going to the race it is a required practice.
I believe that racing is great fun! There is also great value in just being outside skiing and enjoying yourself. Parents please talk to your kiddos. Which days are the best for them. After Tuesday we will be placing those team members on appropriate teams if they do not voice an opinion.
By school rules. Any skier who has 9 practices can go to a meet. So if you ski on the casual team and decide to try a meet you are welcome! Come to meets with the idea of doing your best, representing the team with good sportsmanship and all that.
Our January is packed with adventure!
