Storm the Wall team captains – thank you for registering a team for this year’s event. Be on the lookout for an email update from our team with important details about the next steps as well as information about next week’s Safety Clinic and Wall Practice sessions. We’ve clipped some of the important bits here in case you need a reminder of what to expect.
Mandatory Safety Clinic
All teams are required to register for a Pre-Race Clinic. This clinic is designed to teach you how to safely navigate the wall and provide an opportunity to practice doing so. Attendance at the clinic is mandatory, and failure to participate will render your team ineligible to race.
Clinics will be held from Monday, March 17 to Friday, March 21, and take place in the Nest Performance Theatre located on floor 2 of the AMS Nest. It is mandatory that one team member attends the clinic presentation.
Wall Practice
After the clinic presentation, it is highly recommended you go to the wall to practice. If you have 4 or more of your team members present, you may go down to the wall and practice. If you have less than 4 members you can head to the wall and we will do our best to combine you with another team to practice.
Do not forget that all team members attending wall practice need to bring their physical student ID in order to check in. If you do not bring your ID, you cannot participate in practice and will need to schedule a make-up session (if available).
