(As Sunday is Mothers Day...we need 8 students to commit for class to be held. Several have said they would not be at class, so please respond by Saturday 5 pm if you are planning to attend. It will post CLOSED on the main home page and calendar Saturday night if we do not have enough participants. We will notify those that did commit if class closes.)

This week we will focus on “holding”, a perfect alignment... absolute, back muscles in place, where the archer can not be collapsed. We will continue to work towards body positioning/alignment, focusing on foot and hip positions and flat backs, for best stability. As we explore the components of training, from goal setting, and understanding types of tournaments, fundamentals of scoring etc., we must always keep in mind the process.  Train regularly, have a goal for each session, and, keep notes.

Please arrive early to gear up and check in.
First whistles blow at 10:30, and 3:30. Please be geared up and on the waiting line.
