AT&T APCA Dragons Practice 4 of 7

Hello Team,

Thank you for those who attended the third session.

We are coming well together as a team and we learned about timing.

We also had first extra credit opportunity to KC Branaghan’s.

4th session will be more timing and endurance training.

If you are new to paddling and have not attended first 3 sessions then this is the last session that you can start since I require at least 4 practices out of 7.  You will need to come out early to go over the basics before going on the water so please let me know.

Please bring the signed waiver to YOUR first practice.

We are also missing some waivers. This is very important so please bring signed copy.

It is always good idea to arrive little early for everyone since we need to take attendance, (still) collect waivers, and learn the basics paddling form.  Please make sure you add extra time to your commute so that you can find parking and also find our group.  We'll have our APCA signs so look for our APCA Logo.

All practices are counted as point toward Participation Award.  Home Work and Extra credit will be sent via email & blog later.

Our tentative schedule for third practice will be as follows.

10:30am - 10:40am - Warm-up

10:40am - 10:50am - Get gears (paddle, PFD, water), restroom and line up at the beach

10:50am - 11:00am - Load the boat
