Fundamentals
Ski Jumping Summer • 7-14 years
Program Details
Fundamentals (Small Hills) introduces young athletes to ski jumping in a fun, supportive environment focused on foundational skills and all-around athletic development. Summer training takes place on the 10–20m hills and combines jumping with age-appropriate dryland that builds agility, balance, coordination, and general strength. Athletes progress at their own pace while learning safe technique, equipment management, and the basics of flight.
Fall training adds one dryland session per week plus one or two weekly jumping options, providing family-friendly flexibility. Coaching emphasizes motor-skill development, confidence, and a positive introduction to the sport. This program offers the perfect starting point for athletes preparing to advance into the Competitive Team pathway.
