First "Official" Ledge Street Practice


We had our first "official" Nashua PAL practice today at Ledge Street and I hope everyone enjoyed finally getting outside to begin our season! We started by learning gentle stretching drills and then we worked on running at a conversational pace for 10 minutes....meaning running at a steady but easy pace. If you couldn't talk to your friend while running, then you probably were going too fast! We then had a fun relay with cool down drills to finish. Our next practice is Thursday from 2:45 P.M.-4:00 P.M.

Thank you to the many parents who came to practice to help. I can't tell you how important it is to have as many parents at practice as possible primarily for safety reasons. We have a large team with many children in 2nd and 3rd grade and it is important for you to be my extra set of eyes and ears during practice. Even if you can only come once or twice each week, that is a big help. All volunteers must check in with Monique Duda who will provide you the necessary forms to allow you to serve as regular volunteers.

Last but not least, I expect to have information out regarding our official Ledge Street running shirts and other important info. before the end of the week after I meet with the screen printing company in Hudson.
