Hello Parents & Student Athletes!
We will start our official season practice this Thursday, December 6. Practice will be held every Monday, Thursday, & Saturday, weather permitting throughout the rest of the season. However, I will not be able to start a weekly Saturday practice until the beginning of the year, Saturday January 5, 2019.
PRACTICE SCHEDULE
Please save the following dates and plan to attend as many practices as possible! On days when trails are closed due to weather, we will still meet and focus our time on: maintenance, trailside repairs, fitness/endurance, team-building, and more.
Mondays - Starts NEXT Monday, December 10 from 3:30 - 5:00
Thursdays - Starts THIS Thursday, December 6 from 3:30 - 5:00
Saturdays - Starts Saturday, January 5 and repeats every Saturday from 1:00 - 3:00/3:30 throughout the season with our final Saturday practice on April 27. Each week, I will share the location/trail for Saturday’s practice on the previous Monday.
PRACTICE LOCATION
We will meet at Marion Deihl near the Queens University Sports Complex entrance. Mondays and Thursdays. We will either practice skills at this location, then head to BYT - OR- some days we will head straight to BYT.
Saturdays will be dedicated to trail rides at one of these trails: BYT, Col. Francis Beatty Park, USNWC, or Fisher Farm. I will communicate the trail/location for Saturday rides the previous Monday, weekly.
PIT ZONE
We currently only have 3 Student Athletes who are registered in PItzone and therefore eligible to attend practices! Please search your email for the invitation sent to every parent I have an email address for - the mail came from “donotreply@nationalmtb.org” Since we are now officially in season, only Student Athletes who are registered in PitZone are eligible to attend practice from now on.
NICA RELEASE
Every Student Athlete must also submit a Release from Liability, signed by a parent - for the 2019 season before participating in practice. That form is easily accessed from our website https://www.mpmtb.com/ Please either: print it out, complete it and bring it with you to your next practice, OR download the form, complete it using Adobe Acrobat, and email it to me at SHAWN@CLTMTB.COM
WEBSITE
I’ve started a website for the team - it’s a work in progress, but some of the important stuff is already there - please let me know if you have suggestions for additional content: https://www.mpmtb.com/ I have also archived all previous emails on the BLOG page… just in case you’ve missed anything or signed up after my first email. I’ve also added some detail regarding the budget to the website on the SPONSORS page. I will also add a Calendar with all practices and races.
