Kickers & Gliders (Ages 7-12)
PCSS offers 1 day and 2 day introductory and intermediate cross country programs designed to launch a lifelong love for cross country skiing. Recommended ages are 7 to 12 years.
Kickers & Gliders is a program designed for those who want to learn, have fun, and develop their skills on cross country skis. The program teaches both skate and classic techniques so participants will need both skate and classic skis. Skills are developed in an inclusive environment through games and drills. Those who want to try racing will have coach support at the 2 free untimed races (Cocoa Loppets), local Wasatch Citizen's Series, and IMD Youth Ski Festival. The program's curriculum is based on US Ski and Snowboard Cross Country Training System Phase 2 and 3.
