Greetings, Great starting weekend! You should all be proud of the progress made in the the past year. Sprongo: Please make sure your athletes are checking out their video online and making comments on their skiing. This is a helpful tool in making sure the coaches are sending a clear message on technique and tactics.

This weekend we will be working on starts, check out the skating videos labeled 'skating' under 'Evan's basic positions/movement drills'. Schedule: Saturday 12/10: GS training at West. Meet at the TAS Shack at 8:45. Sunday 12/11: SL training at West. Meet at the TAS Shack at 8:45. Van is available both days. We leave Eastgate at 7:30. Sign up online.

Races: Online registration is open for the Web Moffett Cup. Contact Darrell Zeldes to sign up for volunteering.

The plan for the first NWC SL races at Mission is to train Saturday 12/17 and Sunday 12/18 in the morning, then drive to Mission at 12 noon for races Monday and Tuesday with Jimmy and Evan. I need confirmations from athletes by Friday.
