No worries, and no imposition of sort.<br />
This session is made for newcomers. Often half of the group is made of new people with various degrees of experience.<br />
We normally only ask to be there more or less on time, but this Sunday it will be hard to be on time for everybody...

<p>Race winds down after 11:00am and is officially over at 11:30am, but plan on getting there early to cross the race, or BART to the City and get rides form locals: <a href="http://ning.it/12dHljB" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://ning.it/12dHljB…</a></p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>GWHS update</strong></span> (based on <a href="http://baparkour.ning.com/xn/detail/2070047:Event:109865" target="_self">5/12/13 training</a>): about a year ago we stopped holding regular sessions at the historical first BApk location where the Sunday beginner's training started in 2007, because it seemed that the school had set a program of leasing out the sports field on Sundays and having an Athletic Facilities Director permanently on location (phew! Long sentence...).</p>
<p>We had respectful interaction with him, but were asked to get a permit with the City of SF to keep on training on location, which is something that wouldn't work for an <a href="http://baparkour.ning.com/page/faq-about-liability" target="_self">ad-hoc organization</a> like ours.</p>
<p>During Summer or Winter Holidays casual session have been hosted there (<a href="http://baparkour.ning.com/events/basic-training-12-30-tbc" target="_self">lastly</a> in 2012) undisturbed.</p>
<p>Last Sunday, we have been running our usual program, with an emphasis on Parkour rolls, given the advantage of the sports field, and appreciating many of the valuable assets of this location.</p>
<p>Most importantly we have discovered a small, but potentially usable area, OUTSIDE the West side of the school complex, on 32nd Ave.</p>

Especially in combination with this other ramp on the west end of the track&field ring. </p>
