A Few Words on Drytraining

We meet on Wednesday evenings promptly at 7:00PM at the lower soccer field in the center of the park at the bottom of the hill.  In the instance that this field is occupied, we will meet on the soccer field near the parking lot off of Lazzarro Drive, close to the concession stand.  You will need to dress comfortably for the weather, wear a pair of good running shoes and clothing that allows you to jog, bend, and sprint freely.  Your shoes will get grass stained.  The workouts are strenuous, but are geared so that all of our skaters, regardless of age or skating ability can participate.  There is no cost for Drytraining and parents are welcome to train with their children if they so desire.  BE SURE TO BRING ENOUGH DRINKING WATER OR SPORTS DRINK for the hour long session, as it is usually quite hot, and we work very hard.  Also, bug repellant is strongly recommended.

*Please note that sessions may be cancelled last minute due to weather conditions.  We will make every attempt to post cancellations here by 6:00 PM, however, weather being unpredictable, we apologize for any possible last minute cancellations.  When last minute cancellations occur, we will make every attempt to contact persons who regularly attend drytraining, so please make sure we have your current phone number, so that we may contact you regarding last minute cancellations if necessary.   If you are not sure if drytraining is cancelled due to weather, and you have not received a call, check this page after 6:00 PM.
