First Day Junior Summer Training

For many years the Mansfield Nordic summer programs have been the bread-and-butter of the club. This summer our options for great training are similar to the programs of years past, with scheduling and pricing much the same.  In addition, a limited amount of roller ski rentals are available. 

The 2-day/week Intro program will be focused on athletes new to rollerskiing, with sessions at the car-free paved loop at the Ethan Allen Firing Range. Athletes in this program will develop skills like balance, agility and safe handling of rollerskis, and have the opportunity to work with experienced coaches. Practices will not be entirely rollerski focused, however, and there will be ample opportunity to also train alongside Comp Team athletes and take part in runs, drills, games and strength-building.

The 5-day/week Comp program will be focused on high-level training for more experienced rollerskiers and athletes with strong training backgrounds. Workouts will take place alongside the Intro team at the Range on Tues/Thurs, and across Chittenden County and beyond during other days.  This group will build a strong fitness base through intervals, long-distance workouts, strength sessions and cross-training opportunities. 

For experienced rollerskiers, we have also connected with the Ethan Allen Biathlon club to have Range access on Tues/Thurs afternoons as well as mornings to accommodate skiers with work or travel constraints (note that coach Terko will likely be the only coach at these sessions, therefore it is limited to experienced rollerskiers pending further coaching additions!).
