ABOUT DRYLAND TRAINING
Summer dryland training is designed to keep athletes fit while having fun. We hike, bike, run, and play organized games (like soccer and frisbee). With BSF's professional coaches, you'll explore beautiful mountain trails and create new adventures.
Athletically, it helps develop cardiovascular capacity, endurance, flexibility, strength, and balance. But it's also about enjoying our environment and developing team-building skills, confidence, and friendships.
NO SKILLS NECESSARY
All kids are welcome to join us. (Soccer players, runners, outdoor enthusiasts, etc.) No specific ski skills are necessary to take part, and dryland training benefits all types of athletic and outdoor pursuits. No prior fitness levels requirements. In other words, as long as you want to move and enjoy the outdoors, COME JOIN US.

Sessions will include stopping skills, cone drills, slaloms, and games. All sessions will be hosted within a parking lot with the option to practice some street skiing in a quiet neighborhood on the last session.
We highly recommend the Roller Ski Camp for all U14 athletes who are interested in joining the Devo Progressive Team and training on roller skis throughout the summer and fall. Additionally, we recommend all athletes 10+ to start practicing their basic roller ski skills so they are ready to hit the pavement as older athletes.
