In 2008, NYMCRA is sponsoring two regionally-centered kayak clinics for marathon racers. The first will correspond with the Madrid race weekend, June 7th and 8th, and will be conducted on the Grass River in Madrid, NY. The second will be on June 15th near Syracuse in Central New York.
These clinics are intended to provide top-notch training opportunities for marathon kayak racers. Attendees can expect quality training and in-depth coaching of the skills needed to excel as a marathon kayak racer. Both clinics will offer on-land instruction and on-water coaching from two top racers in the region.
The Madrid clinic will be produced by Ed Greiner and coached by Jason Quagliata. Jason is a very experienced racer who has competed throughout the Eastern US. Jason is from Rochester, NY but spends much of his time in Boston where he can be often seen training and racing on the Charles River. For more information on this clinic, contact Ed at egreiner1@yahoo.com.
The CNY clinic will be produced by Scott Stenberg and coached by Mike Archambault. Mike is a coach from the Pointe-Claire Canoe and Kayak Club in Pointe-Claire, Quebec. Mike has several years of coaching experience and has raced in Canada and the US. Mike’s past clinics conducted for the AWA have been well received with much praise for Mike’s efforts.
