New Competitor Training
We recognize the importance of encouraging and promoting new participants if a sport is to flourish. Our monthly Knight School instructional sessions provide new competitors strong foundation knowledge, while offering seasoned participants opportunities to train with others or refresh their technical skills. Outreach is an important part of our program, so we regularly provide outreach instruction at other facilities on request.
