CF.com Training Camp Idea

Members Area Discussion Suggestions
1

I’ve thrown this idea out there before, but I think it would be very valuable to get a bunch of CF.com members together to have a mini-training camp (similar to what Mel Siff did in the past with Supertraining members).

We could all converge on Toronto to meet up with Charlie (for a camp fee) and go through a mini-training camp (perhaps on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday). We could go over all aspects of training and make most of it practical based and hands on (working with athletes on the track). It’s nice to hear Charlie speak and present slides, but it’s much more valuable to work side-by-side with him and see how he works with individual athletes.

Another important reason to have such an event is that members could learn from each other, as many forum members have expertise in different areas to bring to the table. It would also be a good way to socialize and meet face-to-face with those people you are always arguing with on CF.com. Maybe a few match races could be set up to settle some scores.

I figure Toronto would be a good location since it is very close (driving distance) to a number of major centers. Also, for US members, the Canadian dollar makes it worth your while. I’m sure Charlie could also introduce attendees to a number of the therapy specialists he works with.

So, a couple of questions?

1 - Who would be interested in attending such a training camp in Toronto in the near future?

2 - What time of year would be best (I was thinking May or June)?

Let me know your thoughts on such an event.

Sounds like a fantastic idea. Some hands on (as such) work from Charlie… pity im not closer to Toronto!
He should make a trip down under…

3

id do it if I lived in ny, but i stay in fla. too far for me. good Idea

4

I’d mos def go, but I’m in AZ…:frowning:

5

I’d like it to be closer to New Jersey, but I think I would probably go even if it were in Toronto. May would be nice.

6

That would be an excellent idea, and the best time I beleive would be the weekend right after OFSAA, June 12 weekend.

Cheers

7

Rats, i am another from southwest (US), so i probably won’t be able to go. Sounds like a good idea though.

8

What about one in Canada and one in the States?

Quark - where are you from?

9

awesome idea. pending on cost i’d be there for sure. i think a june date would be great!

10

I would absolutely be interested in attending! If it’s in May it has to be after May 7th(when school ends). I would also like to know what the cost of the event might be and what would the daily schedule include?

11

Just for arguments sake why not run one during january, more of a camp type thing and make it last a week, so that the knowledeg is more digestible and people not from Canada or the US can also attend, I know that I would go if it was in January and that would mean a 10-12 hour plane trip for me.

12

nice idea… but too far for me too… im in ny…

13

hey i’d love to get in on this (if its open to the forum plebes like myself…). Any estimate on the cost?

14

I’d be interested in attending in Toronto, or if we could consider in the south or southwest (arizona or new mexico would be perfect if we could arrange it). I’m in.

15

Let me know when and where and how much, I’m in no matter what if its in Toronto. I’m mostly available from May-Aug

16

I’d go, June sounds good. Let’s talk cost.

17

400, i am from New Mexico but go to school in Socal.

18

Sounds like a really good idea! If there was one somewhere in US, preferably the mid-west or south, that would be even better for me :slight_smile:

19

count me in. may or june, if in june, weekend of june 20th is fathers day, so hopefully not on that weekend.

will start saving up now…

We’ve missed the prior two sessions. Early June in Toronto sounds good for us.
