Million,
You did a good job describing the basics. Hopefully this thread inspires a few people to give it a try.
I'll return to this thread later when I have some time.
I've been an instructor for 5 years and would be happy to answer any questions anyone has.
The sport is one of the most rewarding but challenging at the same time (and I say it as a former D1 athlete).
