Important Notes
These sessions are for athletes with the more experience, who are interested in fine-tuning their skills or improving on their weaker discipline. In this series, you will get more personalized attention and a smaller group setting! You don’t have to be fast, just willing to learn and work hard! These are “no drop” training sessions – we will keep regrouping!
