ABOUT THE NORDIC INTRO PROGRAM
AGES 8-11 (U10 & U12)

Ages 8-11 (as of January 1, 2024)

Beginner and intermediate cross country ski instruction. We take holistic approach to skiing. We work on the fundamentals of skiing: agility, balance, and coordination. And we focus on creating a fun and supportive environment that can support a diverse range of skiers. All U10 to U12 Intro skiers will do both classic technique (striding) and skate skiing (think hockey skating). More on that below. Kids learn double poling and double-pole kick through games, exercises, relays and other fun activities. All BSF coaches are U.S. Ski & Snowboard-certified, and skiers will be placed in groups of the same age and ability to build confidence, community, and skills.

No prior ski experience necessary. Skiers are placed into groups based on age and ability. They can spend multiple years participating in BSF Intro, and when they want to move up to the Development Team (no racing required), they can easily make the move.
