Junior and Intermediate Squad sessions are held on Saturday mornings, and participants are also encouraged to compete in club racing in the afternoon. Important to the overall squad program is the opportunity for participation in the social activities at the club and develop a sense of belonging within the club. Being part of the Squad should be as much about loving being at the club as it is about enjoying the sport.
Courses will next run from October 12th - December 7th . All courses are run on Saturday mornings from 10:00am to 12:00pm.
