Dear Inga,

From time to time I will send some collected bites of skating reminders and important notes.  I hope these notes will help you become more connected with our inline skating community and help you enjoy our club to the fullest.  See you on wheels!
 
 
 
 
Sincerely,

Off Season Training
Get a head start on the 2008 season 
Couch surfing is fun, but makes getting back into shape a challenge when the snow melts.  Better not to get out of shape!
 
Check out the self guided training materials in our library, and learn all about  slideboard and plyometrics.  If you have signed up for our fall or winter indoors package then just arrive early at 10AM to do group plyometrics.
 
You can also get professional training from coaches such as Barry Publow. Check out the SkatetTrain.ca site.
