The DRXC Jr Ski Team is a cross country ski training program for athletes aged 10-15 years old.  The Jr Ski Team aims to introduce young athletes to the basics of training and cross country skiing while developing a passion for the sport. The programming is play based, with fun and games built into each practice. Coaching focuses on supporting improvement  in classic and skate skiing techniques. Athletes have the opportunity to try ski racing with coaching guidance if this is of interest to them. Two races are supported by club coaches, one local and a second that requires an overnight stay. 

 

The Jr Ski Teams practices year round, with dryland practices in the summer and fall comprising roller skiing, running, biking and strength training. As soon as the snow falls, the athletes are on skis for training.
