Installation Party

  • Connect with the coaches on Zoom so we can help you install everything you'll need to get started. We wil use the INSTALL GUIDE. However, installation is not the entire process.
  • Even if you already have everything installed you need to run through a check-in with a coach so WE know you are ready.
  • Get our thumbs up 👍 proving you are ready to roll.
  • If there is no way you can make it on Friday and need help with installation we can make other arrangements for you. We want to keep exceptions to the bare minimum. Please be respectful of our volunteer coaches' time.
