Winter Training Cancellation Policy

Winter training is cancelled today due to the weather. 

Policy: 

We are putting into effect a winter training season practice cancellation policy to facilitate making it easier to determine when practices will be cancelled due to  inclement weather. So, although I know all of our athletes do not attend IHS, when ICSD (Ithaca City School District) cancels school, has early dismissal of school, or cancels all afterschool activities, we will follow suit and automatically cancel practice on those days.

Otherwise, any weather-related practice cancellations that we determine necessary on days when school is not in session or when it has not been cancelled but conditions warrant cancellation by practice time, will be communicated to you via this listserv as early as we are able to determine conditions warrant cancellation. While we would like to minimize practice cancellations as much as possible, the safety of our athletes is our first concern.

Of course, it is always to your discretion to determine if your particular circumstances allow for safe travel to and from practice, so if you must miss a practice due to weather conditions and we have not cancelled practice, please just let the head coach know via email ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ) or by phone (646-306-0972) as soon as possible.

Winter Training

At long last the winter season has officially arrived! The official start date is Monday, December 8th.  
 
Scheduled practices will be held at two locations this year: Cornell's Tank Room at Teagle Hall and Ultimate Athletics which has just moved (this weekend) into the old Sear's location at the mall.
 
This year, we have changed our sessions from three separate, split winter 'sessions' to a single season long schedule, but with choices about the number of days per week. This will allow involvement at varying levels of time commitment.
 
The only exception to this season long commitment will be our "CBC Club Winter Fun Days" which will be scheduled and announced for specific dates throughout the winter.  These will be open to the entire club and not require pre-registration at this time. You will simply be able to register (and pay direct to the venue, if costs are associated) as the dates and activities are announced on a case by case basis. We hope to include events for the entire club such as ice skating at Cass Park and cross-country skiing (if logistics and weather allow...). These events will be held on various weekends (most likely, Saturdays) throughout the season, and again, do NOT need to be registered for at this time.
 
Cost for the five day program will be $600, which is similar to last year, except that we are offering more weeks.  For families who are interested, we are offering an installment payment plan.  The two day per week program will be $250.
