Move to Saint Peter's pool
Sat, Oct 24, 5:00 PMThose of us coming from Manhattan should meet at the Pier 66 Boathouse to load and transport gear at 1:00pm. I will try to update here if the timing needs to change, but also pay attention to Slack for coordinating details. People who cannot come into Manhattan beforehand can meet at the pool around 2:45pm to help unload. We will mostly be moving gear, trying to figure out and set up the most efficient storage system that we can manage with the space we have, and maybe starting to experiment with goal options. But if there's time, we can get in the water for some paddling and basic drills. Our winter pool sessions this year will probably be: * Wednesday nights, from 8-10pm * Some Saturday afternoons, from 3-5pm * Some Sunday mornings or early afternoons (exact times specified on Meetup events) These will all get scheduled on Meetup once we confirm the dates and times. We will have different kinds of sessions, with different skill levels and training goals (scrimmages, drills, intro sessions, rolling sessions, advanced competition training, etc.). Please read the Meetup event descriptions before signing up, and contact the event host(s) if you are unsure if the session will be right for you.

Wednesday night scrimmages
Thu, Nov 5, 1:00 AM**PLEASE SIGN UP AT LEAST 48 HOURS IN ADVANCE!** We will need to cancel sessions that do not have at least 6 people signed up. (But also, try not to change your RSVP with less than 48 hours notice, as we will lose money or waste expensive pool time if we cancel late or have too few people show up.) We'll warm up with some drills, and then split up into teams for some games. Wednesday nights are shorter, and if you're a new paddler, this will be a tricky session for a proper introduction to kayak polo. But if you want to join and have some paddling experience, send a message to the host to see if this session will work for you. While first-timers can try out a session for free, after that you will either need to join the club (seasonal and annual membership rates) or pay the $25 single-session fee.
