Welcome back skaters!

I hope you all had a good couple of weeks of well deserved recovery! Tomorrow we start up with dry land training. This will be a fairly basic and easy workout for the return back. It will consist of running intervals and basic dry land drills. Primarily to get the skaters muscles remembering that oh so wonderful position of sitting below 90 degrees. Dry land is probably the most beneficial training our skaters can do to make large gains on the ice.

Each week we will continue to build up the programs and it will vary from running intervals and imitations, to running the UOP stairs, circuit training and maybe even a game of kickball! Since the skaters are all still growing we will focus on skating specific drills but also general conditioning and coordination to help them become a great athlete regardless of what sport they do!

Mother Nature has been teasing us lately. We are planning to meet tomorrow at 5:30 pm at the PC Ice Arena. If the weather turns wet we will meet at New Park. Please let Rob or myself know if you intend to join us tomorrow. We will send out a final notification on location tomorrow around 4:30. (I just don't want us to miss anyone and Mother Nature has not been helpful at all lately!) We will train from 5:30 - 6:45 pm.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

All the best,

Catherine

PS - Parents you are more than welcome to join the workouts if you would like! I am warning you....you will likely be very sore but hey it may be more fun than a cross fit class!
