Zoom Info Session
We will hold an online info session for those new to ARML on Thursday, April 16 at 6pm. This is a great opportunity to learn more about ARML and ask questions. Register at https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/Qz5fxEYVRtyY2H_X2ezsvQ to receive the Zoom link.
ARML Local
ARML Local is this Sunday – it’s a great (and free!) opportunity to get a taste of ARML, meet the team, and participate in a low-stakes competition! ARML Local also doubles as a tryout opportunity for elite team selection. Feel free to bring friends along, even if they’re not planning to go to Reno. We are hosting ARML Local in both the Bay Area and at UC Davis.
- Sunday, 4/19 @ 9am-1pm, Bliss and Wisdom Foundation, San Jose
- Sunday, 4/19 @ 12pm-3pm, UC Davis Shields Library Room 162
Please arrive on-time as we’ll need to form teams on the spot for ARML Local.
Please see our ARML Local post for more information, including some FAQs.
Registration and Payment Deadline
Our registration and payment deadline for this year is April 27. In order to reserve a spot on the team, you must complete the Information Sheet and pay the contest fee ($410) by this date. Please see our website for details.
For our planning, we greatly appreciate it if you can submit your information sheet and payment as soon as possible, in advance of the deadline.
Parent and Coach Volunteers
If you are a parent or coach who is interested in coming to Reno as a volunteer this year, please fill out the Information Sheet as soon as possible. ARML requires that we finalize our travel roster soon, including volunteers. Parent and coach volunteers will be asked to assist throughout the trip, and will be provided with a dorm room at UNR.
Sacramento / Davis
If you live in the Sacramento / Davis area, there are separate weekly practices held at UC Davis. For more information about those practices, please visit the Sacramento page or contact [email protected]
T-Shirt Designs
In a venerable ARML tradition, we’ll be designing a distinctive team t-shirt. You are invited to submit design ideas, and we will put them to a vote in early May. Designs should be submitted by April 30. Please see this post for more information.
