Skill Development Program

The Skill Development Program is divided into several stages:

Bunnyrabbit Program:
The Bunnyrabbit Program is directed at children in the “Active Start” stage of athlete development (children 5 years of age and younger). It is a fun, skill development program designed to introduce children to the sport of cross country skiing and the healthy lifestyle associated with it. Parents are encouraged to come and ski with their child during lessons.

Jackrabbit Program:
The Jackrabbit Program is directed at skiers in the “FUNdamentals” stage of athlete development (children 6 to 9 years of age). It is a fun, skill development program where the objective is for participants to learn basic cross country ski skills (both classic and skating) and to instill a lifelong interest in the sport. Children in this program will have the opportunity to work on techniques towards 4 Technique Awards. As well, they will be able to earn Snow Goals (time spent skiing outside of lesson time and Sprint Awards (timed sprints after technique lessons).

Track Attack Program:
The Track Attack Program is directed at skiers in the “Learn to Train” stage of athlete development (skiers 10 to 12 years of age). The objective of the program is for the participants to become technically competent cross country skiers and to use those skills to explore a wide range of cross country ski activities from back country excursions to Ski Tournaments and other competitions.
