Meet at Scout Park for TNT
(Tuesday Night Training). Sport specific
conditioning. (Strength, endurance, flexibility and so much more..)
Requirements for team
participation:
1. No previous experience
necessary
2. A willingness to learn and
improve on your own personal experience level
Goals:
1. To provide an opportunity in a
team atmosphere for students to experience the sport of Nordic Skiing.
2. Knowing that all team members
will start with varying abilities, to improve and grow in those abilities.
3. To participate and experience
true Nordic racing in a meet.
4. All team members will learn to
wax skis and take care of personal equipment.
Equipment requirements:
1. Nordic skis, boots and poles.
We will train
for both techniques in the Nordic world. Classic and Skate.
Option 1. It is possible to find
one pair of skis that will do both. (very good for the beginner) and one pair
of boots that is good for both.
Option 2. A pair of skis for each
technique.
Check with local ski businesses for season
long rentals if you do not own skis. All
in town are good and can help you. Bindings on skis are not universal fit.
Make sure your boots are the right system for your skis. Try them in the store
before getting them to the trails.
2. Winter clothing
A quick lesson in how to dress for
success...
- layers, layers, layers ... Bottom
layer of wicking (Under Armor, Columbia, Mountain Hardware, etc. ) long
underwear, tops and bottoms. Ski tights or lightweight fleece pants, lightweight
fleece top, wind pants and jacket. Reserve the heavy jacket for the bus. Hat and gloves. Cotton sweat pants and sweat shirts, jeans etc. soak up water and do
not dry. They are not safe in cold conditions. Cotton kills.
3. Water bottle and somehow to
carry it. Hydration packs with tubes
freeze if not worn under a jacket.
4. Doctors Physical form, if you do
not have one on file from another sport this school year.
5. Skier information
