Intro to Nordic Skiing

Introductory program for athletes ages 7–11 who want to learn both skate and classic techniques while having fun. ITS 1 athletes focus on fun while learning the basic gears in both disciplines. ITS Level 2 is for young athletes with experience in both skate and classic techniques. ITS Level 2 has an emphasis on developing both skills and fitness, while still having fun and advancing skills. For ITS 2 the minimum age is 8 and athletes must have a season of ITS Level 1 before advancing to Level 2. At this level racing is optional and the emphasis is on learning to race more than being competitive.
