Mansfield Nordic Club
Ski coaching, training and playing in the shadow of Mt Mansfield for all ages and abilities
Once again, NENSA has teamed up with SWIX to offer jackets, pants, water belts & hats to BKL youths, parents and helpers. This year, you may order on your own and the store will be open through Nov. 19th. You can find all the info, including the items, on the NENSA website: https://www.nensa.net/bkl-jacket-program/
If you decide to order, please e-mail me for the access code: sheacobb19@gmail.com
This season MNC is restructuring our BKL programs to better address the broad range of skiers and skier interests. Primary training days will be Tuesday and Thursday for all groups. Our youngest group, the Penguins meeting will meet only 1-Day of the week on Tuesdays and our more advanced Racing and Devo teams will add additional days on the weekend.
Our programs will primarily be differentiated by grade level, with our oldest skiers also being separated by racing interest. Key highlights of the program are below with more details available on our BKL Winter Page.
If you have questions about the programs or what is suitable for your child, please feel free to e-mail Head BKL Coach Rosemary: sheacobb19@gmail.com.
MNC is a non-profit organization devoted to the mission of helping athletes of all ages and abilities improve their Nordic skiing and pursue skiing excellence at the local, national, and international levels. We also believe our success is directly tied to the success of the broader ski community in Vermont. A large portion of that community are Public High School teams which play a vital role in building broad participation and lifelong interest in our sport.
To that end, we have established a set of policies to guide our Junior programs as it pertains to Public High School teams. These policies allow us to passionately pursue our mission while also respecting the needs of Public High School coaches and their teams.
MNC Junior Program Policy:
Please refer all questions or concerns regarding these policies to Kort Longenbach at president@mansfieldnordic.org.
Mansfield Nordic Club is proud to be part of the New England Nordic Ski Association (NENSA) and has achieved Bronze Level certification by the US Ski and Snow Board Association.
Join us Thurs 9/13 at 5:30PM for a run or ride at Catamount Outdoor Family Center. We will also have samples of a new Mammut soft-shell jacket (Men’s, Women’s) that we will be offering in the fall at significant club discount.
So come join us Thursday, to run/ride with friends you have seen in a while, to support COFC and check out all the great trail improvements as COFC prepares for the transition to the Town of Williston Catamount Community Forrest.
Also, MNC has secured a reduced trail free of $5 for non-COFC members. Hope to see you there!
PS.. For those not familiar with the COFC trail system. COFC offers a wide variety of double-track and single track trails. So bring you mountain bike, gravel bike, trail shoes or road shoes. There is a run/ride for all levels and abilities.
Hi Volunteers!
Thank you for agreeing to help with the 2018 North American and US National Rollerski Biathlon Championships on August 11th and 12th. As always, without your generous help, it would not happen. The races are fast and should be a lot of fun. Saturday is the Sprint race and Sunday is the Pursuit and Mass Start for Sr Men and Women. Here are some details for volunteers:1. Plan to arrive at 7:45 am the first morning when you will be assigned to either the Chief of Range or Chief of Timing for training in your volunteer job for the morning. The athletes will zero their rifles at 8:00 am and the racing will start at 9:00 am. Note that this is earlier than in the Winter. Things should wrap up before noon. Volunteers will meet outside the timing building at 8:00 AM for assignments.2. Make sure you bring clothing for all kinds of weather including rain. Bug spray and a water bottle might be a good idea.3. There will be snacks and drinks in the Walker Building before and after the races.4. Once the races start it is hard to get away from your position, so try to take care of all your needs before the 9:00 am start.5. The outcome of these races depends a lot on how well we do our jobs as volunteers. Details, details, details! It is very important to be focused when on the range, in the penalty area, or at the finish. Missing a number or recording something incorrectly takes quite a bit of effort and time to sort out so do your best to get accurate information. You will get additional instruction on this from the Chiefs. Having said that, we all sometimes miss things. If you think you might have missed something, don’t guess, note it on the recording sheet and bring it to the attention of the Chief at the end of the race.6. If you have any questions before Saturday, you can contact me at this email address or at jpmad2013@yahoo.com or call me at (802) 373 5777 (doesn’t work at my home in the evenings). Looking forward to seeing everyone. We can always use more volunteers so feel free to bring a friend.John MadiganChief of Competition
