NYSSRA Junior Equipment Update

Please join us on September 13 at 7:00 PM for a discussion on Junior Equipment. 

On board to help with this meeting are Gary and Drew Higley of Sports Page, Queensbury NY, and Miguel Azcarate of Mud Sweat’n Gears, Ellicottville, NY.
Sports Page is the NYSSRA sponsor for our U16/18+ race series races, and Mud Sweat’n Gears is the NYSSRA sponsor for our U14 series races. Thanks to them for their continued support!

As the season approaches I get many questions on sizing and types of equipment juniors should be looking at and we'll try to answer some of those questions. 

We will discuss the importance of the Coach-Athlete-Shop partnership in selection of the right equipment for the athlete, and offer information of the new changes or updates regarding equipment available for the upcoming 2021-2022 season. 

June Membership Meeting: Devin Delaney, Sports Nutrition and Fueling-for-Competition Presentation, June 21, 2021 7:00pm

Greetings from the Staff at NYSSRA!

Hope all have adjusted to the spring-summer like conditions and COVID getting smaller in the rear-view mirror.

NYSSRA will continue to offer Athlete - Coach - Parent presentations once a month throughout the year. These will generally take place in the evening at the beginning of a week. These presentations will cover a wide spectrum of information, delving into Conditioning, Nutrition, Mental game, Skill development, Athlete and Parent experiences. 

We are excited to have Devin Delaney deliver a Nutrition and Fueling-for-Competition presentation. This is a huge component of athlete training! Without the right education and balance in nutrition, athletes cannot perform at their correct ability level.
