Thursday Night Practice & Play

!!!TENTATIVE. DETAILS SUBJECT TO CHANGE.!!!

Join us for a drills and scrimmage session at our summer home on the Hudson River. Based on who shows up, we will probably do a combination of drills and some play. If you are NOT an NYKP regular or otherwise experienced player, please communicate your background to the session host(s) beforehand, as this venue can be quite challenging for novices.

This session is not intended for people new to kayaking (in which case please check out our intro sessions), but if you have experience in kayaks with spray skirts your are welcome to come and tag along.

The boat house is a busy, shared space with our fellow communities. To be fair to everybody we strongly recommend the following NYKP boathouse rules:

1. No bikes or hazardous items inside the boathouse;

2. No storage items beyond rack boundaries;

3. Dry your PFD/SKIRTS outside before putting back in storage (but don’t forget);

4. Squeegee water around racks into drain;

5. Bring any complaint(s) to the attention of board members.

Enjoy Paddling and See You On the Pitch Soon!
