All you need to do is show up in shorts and sneakers. We have all the poles you could ever need. Since registration is self-serve....please introduce yourself to a coach when you come in. They will likely be coaching a group when you come in...so just come up and let us know it is your first session. We will help you from there. Can't wait to meet you! **If you are brand new...good...you are at the right place! You can learn it correctly from the start...and we are ready for you!
