Homeschool Cross Country Skiing

Homeschool Cross Country Skiing Starts Nov 28, 2023

Registration opens Sept 15

Come outside and join us on the Trail! This program is for homeschooled Boys and Girls ages 6-14 and will meet at the Kincaid Park Ski Stadium. PARENTS are encouraged to ski along and older skiers are welcome to ask about being a junior coach assistant.

This program is designed to be a FUN, EXCITING and FAMILY FRIENDLY way to learn and improve your skiing stamina and techniques. This is a great way to help fulfill your student’s PE requirement. Many homeschool providers will help pay for programs like this and we are a vendor with a few homeschool providers in town. Contact your homeschool provider to coordinate the best way for payment.

Instruction in this program will include lessons in both skate and classic techniques as is age and level appropriate (some younger skiers will only classic ski).  Each participant should be prepared with equipment that allows for both skate and classic.  If you are unsure whether or not your skier should be prepared to learn skating, please reach out to Coach Hilary for more information.

Our goal is to keep the athlete to coach ratio small. If you are interested in coaching or helping out please reach out to Coach Hilary!  We are actively searching for coaches and helpers.

Exact details will be finalized over the summer, but will be similar to years past.  There will be 2 sessions, all of which are at Kincaid and meet from 1:30-2:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Session 1: Nov 28-Dec 14

Session 2: Jan 9-Mar 28

(Session 2 will not meet during ASD Spring Break)
