Intro Rollerski Clinic 1 Recap

By Adam Terko on 12 June, 2022 in BKL Race Blog, Junior Blog, Masters Blog

We had a perfect weather day and a great crew for our first Intro Rollerski Clinic on Saturday. Skiers aged 7 to 53 all joined in and rolled around the parking lots, paths, and roads near Allen Brook School.

Things got going with some safety tips, some off-ski drills, and some warmup exercises. It wasn’t long before skis were on and people were feeling comfortable moving around, slowing down, and even gracefully scooting around cones or tossing a football while skiing!

Our next clinic is July 9th, and you can RSVP via the link here.

Sara and I were joined by guest coaches (Juniors) Rye and Taylor…thanks for helping out! By the end of the session everyone was out exploring beyond the parking lot, and hopefully we’ll see some new faces out on the pavement this summer. You can find additional photos in the MNC Spring/Summer ’22 Flickr album.
