Congratulations to Lyndon (Slip n Slide), Makena (Big Mak), Jordan (Marco), Hannah (Cling-on), Jake and Nicholas (Meathead/Niki)-who still has one more race- for conquering some impressive goals this weekend too! Check out www.zone4.ca for some impressive race results or bring sunglasses to practice on Tuesday as it's going to be pretty flashy with all those medals!

Junior Team

Thursday: Classic technique- bring water bottles and maybe rubber boots (the weather is getting whacky this week) :D

Saturday: Skate technique- bring a snack and water bottles. 

*If you are planning on attending the Edmonton races and I'm not aware, please let me know by calling (780-933-0853) or emailing (clairerichter@me.com) me to confirm that you're coming and please read the notice above in orange (and below it). Registration will be done on zone4 and peewee/atom athletes  (junior team age categories) do not need to worry about licences or anything other than the registration fees. Please ensure that you're registering your athlete in the right category (the birth dates are usually beside each category name) but if you're child is 8 in 2014, I believe they are a peewee athlete. Girls and boys may race together in this category but their results are separated into genders and awarded appropriately that way. Sometimes it is nice to have a bunch of other athletes, boys or girls, around to keep up the hype of the sport. We will be skiing around the course a few times on Friday to ensure that the kids know where they're going and we will also have the senior race team strategically placed around to cheer on the junior race team. It'll be a great time!
