Orange Squad Plan: Oct 13-Nov 6

Hi Coaches


Below is a list of general activities that Orange Squad will be doing for the next 4 weeks.
We haven't ever done this method before, so we will try it for dryland and get feedback from you.

With this many kids and coaches, communication will be critical to make sure we are all on the same page and things are smooth!

This plan has been developed in accordance with the Cross Country Canada Matrix and the Cross Country Yukon orange squad athlete matrix.
