Training Opportunities

If you are like a lot of master players it is hard finding training partners to prepare for the big events. Several clubs in the Mid-West region open their doors for camps prior to Senior Nationals. This is a great chance to train with different players and to build relationships with your fellow master players. If you know of other clubs in your region that are also conducting camps please let us know and we will get the word out.
