Hi folks, the meet season is upon us. USS is doing a great job of
providing new online registration for many evens as well as doing a
great job of getting the applications on line for other meets. Make
sure you renew your USS membership when it is coming close to
expiring, you will need it in order to skate practice at your clubs as
well as going to meets. Slots for the Sue Ellis Clinic are going
fast, please register soon, I will be putting it up on the USS site on
Nov 15 to finish selling out any slots. See our website under the
handouts link for the registration details. www.eteamz.com/seissc
Remember the clinic has 6 hours of Ice time, this is a great mid
season tune up.

Transportation to Columbus

The Big Van will be running from Charlotte N.C. to Columbus on
Saturday, this is a Sunday Meet, and will be returning to Charlotte
and should be back around Midnight on Sunday. Anyone who wants to
ride up from
Charlotte with me just let us know. I am willing to pick someone up
along the way, but it has to be on my route.

This was a really good meet last year, and a chance to skate against
folks outside of our Association.

Workout Tips for the Competition Season:

All skaters should not be working more on skating specific exercises.
You should go into the maintenance mode for aerobic conditioning and
strength.
Lots of down-time, dry skating and exercises should be focused on ones
that are down in the skating position.
4. Eat right and get your rest. Muscles need fuel and rest to grow.
All the working out in the world will not make up for good nutrition
and sleep.
