*** Please Commit to attending at least 50% (5 live virtual sessions) if you register. Do NOT sign up to hold your place for future sessions. We are offering the Fall Windchill at no cost, but the coaches are still putting in a considerable amount of time and energy into making this season a success. Registering is committing to your coaches and your teammates. ***
Additional Info:
Do Not Sign Up to Hold Your Place for Future Sessions: If you do not plan to attend and participate in the virtual practices, please do not sign up solely in order to hold your spot. Opting out of this virtual session will NOT lose your place within the Windchill program. If you chose not to register for the virtual Windchill Fall session, you will NOT automatically be removed from the Windchill list or the Windchill Slack at this time. If you would like to be removed from these lists, please indicate that to the coach or admin. If/ when we are able to go back to skating in person, you will NOT have forfeited your place within the program at this time. Closer to the start date, we will communicate if Spring Windchill will continue to be virtual. You will have another opportunity to participate at that time.
Session Cost: Please Commit to attending at least 50% (5 live virtual sessions) if you register. We are offering the sessions at no cost, but the coaches are still putting in a considerable amount of time and energy into making this season a success. Registering is committing to your coaches and your teammates. We will encourage those who register to think about what this session is worth to them, and to find a way to pay that forward in their community through donations of your money or time as you are able. We will be discussing this idea more during Windchill.
No WFTDA Insurance:Womans Flat Track Derby Association insurance is a secondary insurance you would be required to have to participate in our recreational league program if we were to be in person. Since we will not be hosting any in person practices, nor will you be required to skate in order to participate in practices, this will not be required at this time.
No Skating Space Required: Due to COVID-19, MNRD will not be providing any skating space. You will not need to skate in order to participate in the Fall session. If you would like to submit footage or practice skating skills, you will need to locate a space to practice skating yourself and do so at your own risk. Skaters should have primary insurance, wear all of their gear, and take proper social distancing measures if they chose to skate. MNRD is not liable for illness or injury as a result of skating in the community.
I Still Have More Questions: If you have more questions, you can contact the co-managers, through email or Slack.
