IT'S CLINICS WEEK!
Don't forget, Storm the Wall Clinics are MANDATORY for all competitive teams, just for fun teams, iron people and super iron people. All teams registered for Storm the Wall signed up for a specific clinic prior to registration.

Clinics consist of a 45-minute pre-race session which includes a 15 minute classroom information session with a "how to climb a 12' wall" video and a 30 minute team practice session on the wall.

Only 1 team member per team is required to attend the pre-race classroom session. That individual must be on the roster for that team. The 30 minute wall practice session that is held directly after the classroom session is not mandatory, but highly encouraged. There must be a minimum of four people to attend the wall practice session.

Individuals are not permitted to attend one session for multiple teams.

Mandatory Clinic sessions will run from Monday, March 19 to Friday, March 23.

WHERE: Classroom clinics start in the UBC Aquatic Centre.
WHEN: Please arrive ten minutes prior to your scheduled clinic.

See you there!

Storm Tip: Sign up for clinics earlier in the week because there tends to be fewer teams, which means more time for your questions and more time and space to practice on the walls!
