The health and safety of our athletes, coaches, and their families is one of our primary concerns.

As per direction from the provincial health authority as a result of the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, our regular training schedule will be suspended until further notice.

Athletes wanting to train through this period can do so on their own, without a coach present.
Coaches can offer support digitally but cannot be present when the athletes are training.
