Welcome and Info

Welcome to the 2019-2020 Nordic season! Practices will start up the week after Thanksgiving and very soon we will be posting practice plans on a weekly basis, along with lots of other helpful info and details. A few things to note for now ...

Ski Camp:We are still pulling things together, but are thinking that we will have ski camp during the December vacation, possibly beginning on Friday, December 27 and lasting probably 3 days/2 nights. though depending on group interest, it could be 4 days/3 nights. It will not begin any earlier than the 27th, but could get pushed a day or two later. Finally, and VERY IMPORTANTLY, we will need a parent (or two) to "host" camp, going with the team, handling food, etc., so parents, please consider if this could be you. It is really fun to spend time with a great group of kids and ski camp can't happen without a parent helper, so please let Susan know if you can help out.

Upcoming Ski Swaps:
Anyone needing new equipment should consider one (or more) of the upcoming ski swaps. In the next few weeks, ski swaps can be found at:
Camden Hills Ski Sale - Saturday, November 23
2019 Yarmouth Ski Swap - Saturday, November 23
2019 Falmouth Ski Swap - Sunday, November 24

L.L.Bean Nordic Team Info Night:
Please save the date for our annual L.L.Bean Nordic Team Night. Details are outlined in the flyer below. Factory reps are coming back to offer one time special pricing, and we will have clinics for coaches and parents as well. L.L.Bean Nordic Ski Team Discount Cards will be distributed to all eligible athletes at this event. Special guest Kris Freeman will join us this year! Athletes should have a signed waiver or a coach available to sign in order to participate in the dryland training. Ask Susan for participant agreement forms.

Great news! No waiting for orders to arrive this year! We have already received gear to sell on sight at this event. We are hoping that a majority of the kids will be able to purchase and walk away with their ski sets the same day.
