Nordic Club Team

The Club Team is an introductory to intermediate cross-country ski program for kids ages 7-12. It aims to foster a lifelong love for the sport, with sessions held twice a week. This program focuses on learning and developing skiing skills in a fun, group-oriented environment through games and outdoor activities. Both skate and classic skiing techniques are taught. Racing is optional.

  • Jan-early March practices (2x per week)
  • Focuses on fun, games and foundational skills to build confidence on skis (based on US Ski Team Development Progressions)
  • Great introduction for skiers new to the sport
  • Prepares athletes to progress to our Development Team

Please note that the program fee does not include race entry fees or travel-related costs for competitions—including lodging and mileage for coaches, or travel and accommodations for athletes.

No. There are a number of local races and travel races. You should just come to whichever you want. If you don’t want to do any competition but still come to all the trainings that is more than ok!

The travel races are in cool places, and a great way to bond with the team. It is a great way to have a fun weekend, even if you don’t want to raise the competitive level. That being said, if you are trying to race at a higher level, coming to the races is the best option.
