SUMMER COLLEGE PROGRAM
Team Birkie is excited to continue the Summer Collegiate Program. Team Birkie is looking for college athletes who want to take a serious and determined approach to their training and racing, and who want to capitalize on a summer of great training. We look forward to having a motivated and exciting group of collegiate athletes in the Twin Cities this summer!
The program begins June 1st and ends August 20th. The cost of the program is $1,500 which includes a periodized training plan, daily access to coaching, performance testing & evaluation, and the opportunity for daily training with a high-level group of athletes.
