Training Groups, Sessions & Schedules
Training "Sessions":
As a club we would like to honour the other sports and hobbies that athletes are passionate about / committed to. Thus, we want to offer "training sessions" this season for our participants.
We will hold three "sessions" throughout the 2024-2025 season:
Session 1: September-December 2024
Session 2: January-May 2025
Session 3: May-August 2025
You can choose to pay for the entire session up front or pay monthly. Session costs are dependent on the number of weeks in the session, if you pay monthly you are charged for the average of 4 weeks per month, and if you pay for the entire session at once you pay for the actual number of weeks in the session.
You can choose to sign up for the initial two sessions at once, or one session at a time.
Our Session 3 registration will open in 2025.
