Bring your government photo ID and primary insurance card.
Mandatory gear to skate at Bootcamp. No Gear = No Skating. No exceptions.

Quad speed skates ((Referees may use inline skates))
Optional gear:
Butt pads
Tailbone guard

Water or sports drinks and snacks to refuel.
Additional helpful information
Wear tennis shoes and athletic clothing (long pants, leggings or tights are recommended to avoid rink rash).
Prior skating experience is awesome, but not a requirement.
A high level of physical fitness is not necessary, only the willingness to improve. Extra exercise and/or training will benefit you as an athlete. It is recommended that you:
Visit open skates to get acquainted with your skater legs
Go outside! Skate in parking lots, on paved trails and/or concrete pads.
Work on exercises that target and strengthen the quads and hamstrings, i.e., one leg balancing, squats, lunges, and donkey kicks.
Do sit ups and squats. Lots of them. Build up your core and leg muscles.
