Teams and Age Groups:

Comp Team:     Comp Team is short for competition team.  Our Comp Team is for skiers who are 14 and older on January 1st 2009.  This team is for those skiers who are looking to be strong junior racers in their age group, both divisionally and nationally.  The Comp team will race most weekends during the winter.  Training for this group is done year-round, with focus on technique, strength, endurance, speed and mental toughness.  We strive to create an autonomous well rounded athlete, and our goal is to develop top nordic athletes.

Comp Devo Team: Our Comp Devo Team is for skiers who are serious, or just curious, about nordic skiing.  As the name implies, we are trying to bridge the gap between the Development Team and the Comp Team.  Your child must be 12 or older on January 1st 2009.  If your child is too old to be a Devo Skier, but not ready to compete at the competition level, this is the right team.  Or, if your child has been on the Devo Team for two or three years and has mastered the “basics” this is the right team.  

This team is a three or four day a week commitment when we are ‘on-snow’ and two or three day a week for Dryland.  The Comp/Devo Team has great racing opportunities and we encourage entering races at this level.  At the Comp Devo level, the focus will be on improving balance, cardiovascular fitness, technique, rhythm, power, and strength.  The travel team is based on age and ability.  Most of our ‘away’ races this year will include kids who are 13 or older on Jan 1, 2009.  The kids that were born after that will have the option to travel to races; just not as many.  (See schedule in appendix for travel schedule.)

Development Team: Devo Team is for our up-and-coming superstars 4th, 5th, and 6th Graders.  We will focus on the “basics”: technique, speed, strength, and most importantly, having fun!  Devo skiers will have the option of skiing in regional races on some winter weekends, but this team will mainly participate in local Bogus Races.  Our big travel weekend is to Sun Valley for the Western States Youth Ski Festival.  

The Team will meet one to two days a week starting on November 5th until March 14th.  Our goal on this team is to make nordic skiing fun.  We play a lot of games that stress agility.  The team learns about the different techniques, and about how to take care of their equipment.  This team is a winter-only program.

Summer Training: (Comp and Comp/Devo Only)

Summer Training is what separates the best young skiers in this country from the rest.  We are flexible with your needs of summer activities and family plans but hope that all Comp and Comp Devo skiers will participate in dryland training.  Our summer programs are tailored to each of our age groups.  We begin summer workouts with the comp team in early May, and continue right up to ski season.
