One spot open, LAST LAST CALL!!!
I had a cancellation for our upcoming Highland Games Immersion Training Camp on May 11th and 12th. If you are interested please contact me ASAP and I can send you more info and/or answer questions for you. The sale for this event is closed so you cannot sign up directly on the eventbrite page.
Note: this is a men's only clinic for experienced throwers (at least 1 year of throwing background in the games please).
**I also have a couple potential options for in person one on one or small group coaching online and/or here in Bend, OR if people can't make the clinic and/or want to work with me online coming into the season as well. Contact me soon if interested since my summer schedule will be filling up soon!
