2021 Chittenden Dry Land Training

 Now that our fall fitness walks have finished, we are going to start a Dry Land Training program. This will be an outdoor fitness program to get us in shape for winter sports or, for those who don't do winter sports, the sports that come after that. We plan to meet from 11:00 - 12:00 AM Sundays at the Willey Farm starting 11/21/21. The training will be more strenuous than our fitness walks have been and will focus on core strength and flexibility. This will be excellent preparation for alpine skiing, snowboarding, cross country skiing and snowshoeing. We are planning on offering winter sports starting in January so now is the time to get off the couch and get prepared!  People not planning on doing winter sports are encouraged to come too! This will be good for everyone!  

We will run the program Sunday 11/21/21 through Sunday 12/19/21. Watch your email and the blog for weather cancellations. Dress in layers because it will probably be cold but as we exercise, you will get hot and want to take a layer off. Bring a water bottle. Also, if you have an exercise mat, you may want to bring it. 

Please contact David Bogdan <dbogdan@ieee.org> or 802-865-3840 to sign up. We will be checking for current medicals. Special Olympics COVID-19 protocols are still in place, please wear a mask to check-in and we will be taking temperatures and asking the COVID-19 questions.

We will be taking temperatures of everyone; athletes, coaches, family, caregivers and spectators. Masks are required at all times and social distancing is required. I know that is hard at the bocce courts.

Athletes, please wear your Hawaiian bocce shirts! New athletes, we did not have time this season to order new shirts so if you have a Hawaiian shirt or any crazy shirt, please wear it! We will have new shirts for new athletes next bocce season!

We will have pizza, apples and drinks for lunch. If you do not want pizza, please bring lunch. We will attempt to keep social distance while handing out pizza.

We hope to be all done with lunch and awards by 1:00 or 1:30 PM. This is the first time we have actually hosted a competition so please be patient and enjoy the bocce spirit!

See you there!  Dave
