The Development Team (aka “Devo Team”) is split into two teams (same pricing & same schedules):

Devo for Grades 4 & 5
Devo for Grades 6, 7, 8
‍
Devo skiers are proficient in both classic and skate techniques and want to continue honing their skills. The Devo Team uses a skills-based model of training to develop agility, balance, strength, and coordination on skis. We encourage Devo Team athletes to participate in all local races with their team.

‍Skiers on the Devo Team love to Nordic ski, are ready for a longer season, are ready to ski 3 days/week, are interested in racing and are motivated to improve and develop as Nordic skiers.

Prior Nordic ski experience with both skate and classic techniques is required. Minimum of 1 year on skate skis. (No experience needed for summer dryland.) Skier should have a level of maturity to be able to listen to coaches and follow directions, participate in all drills and games, work in a group setting, and ski 2-3 days a week.

Optional racing: in local races. Team race travel is available for the IMD Youth Championships only (U14 & older).

We welcome and encourage new skiers to sign up for our Intro Program.

Those in grades 7-9 may also opt to move up to the Prep Team.
