Thank you everyone who came to the parent/team meeting.  It was great to see all the new and returning faces.  There was a lot of information that we went over.  If you did not get a handout or lost your handout here it is. INFORMATION HANDOUT

All skier, for practices we do not go on snow.  Bring workout clothes to be outside AND inside. Running shoes, wind pants, wind jacket, layer clothes to keep you warm, hat, gloves etc., water bottle. We also encourage skiers to have a watch with a stopwatch/chorno on it.

If you are looking to get ski boots, and you are a first year skier.  Remember you want a Combi race boot that fit NNN bindings.

MESSAGES FROM THE COACH

I will be using the "REMIND" app starting the 2019-2020 ski season for communication with the team. To get text messages text the number "81010" in the message type "@cphsnordic"

You should get a message saying you are recieving messages from Coach Charlie

We will be using "REMIND" to communicate with parents and skiers to let them know when we will be back to Champlin Park High School after practices and meets during the season, and other quick messages.

I will still be using Twitter for simple messages to other non-Nordic people following Champlin Park Nordic.
