Where do fall sports factor into the Club program?
The growth of an athlete depends on participation, and at a young age the more participation the better. There are some sports that will not provide the endurance required of a top-level xc ski racer, so appropriate measures need to be taken prior to the fall. Summer training will be available, and should be utilized by athletes who hope to race well in the winter months. A greater emphasis on exploration, endurance, strength, and most importantly FUN will be the direction of summer training. Cost associated with this can be negligible to non-existent if parents and athletes can get involved in a few good fundraising opportunities.
