Aaron Arndt will be holding a clinic this Saturday- check out the clinic details-below is what I received in an e-mail;
As many of you may already know, I have confirmed a spot on a European Pro team for the 2008 Inline season; Subaru X-Tech, and will depart for Switzerland/Germany for the entire season very soon. I leave April 9th, and between now and then I have a major paper due, as well as five exams to complete at York University (the first is tomorrow). With the help and support of the Toronto Inline Skating Club and its members, I am hoping to use this clinic as a fundraiser for my trip overseas. I would greatly appreciate the help and attendance of club members!!! So, here are the ‘need to know’ details:
Location: Christ the King Catholic School – 200m Track
(3674 Lakeshore Boulevard West
Etobicoke, Ontario M8W 1N6)
Date: Saturday, March 29, 2008Time: 10:30am - 5:00pm (45 minute lunch break)
Structure: The basis of this clinic will primarily be video analysis. Following the morning session of dry land explanation and corrections, each skater will be formally videoed and this video will be analysed immediately afterwards in a group setting at the track site. This will be followed by specific drills/practice for the immediate needs of each skater, followed by a re-shooting of the video, and another analysis. I will also make the video segments for each skater available to them after the clinic.
Price: $40 per person (minimum donation)
The weather forecast is currently predicting clear skies, and a high of 4 degrees; the same as today. I was at the track today for several hours preparing the pavement, and in the afternoon it was actually quite nice and comfortable. I was shovelling snow in just a T-shirt! Regardless, I urge you all to bring warm clothes, jackets, scarves, hats gloves etc. to stay warm during the video analysis portion of the clinic. Chairs and blankets will be great to have also. Also, be prepared with warm skating gear (preferably tight for the video), and running shoes + sweats for the dry land portion. Also, you will need to feed yourselves during the 45 minute lunch, but there are many restaurants in the area, as well as a “No Frills” Supermarket that serves a prepared meals menu right next to the track.
