Track Attack Program

Track Attack (TA) is a skill development program aimed at improving skate and classic techniques in a fun and social environment. The aim of the program is to expose athletes to all things cross country skiing from recreational to competitive. Those interested in moving on to T1/T2/LC will learn all the skills required. TA will promote teamwork and personal interaction skills and athletes will learn the basics of off season training and develop foundational technique skills on snow such as balance, coordination and muscle recruitment.

    We encourage families of all economic levels to participate in this awesome winter sport. If you have constraints for program or equipment costs, Foothills Nordic encourages families to seek support through KIDSPORT, a local program to help lower-income families with sport and activity program costs.

  • Foothills Nordic is able to run high quality programs for a reasonable cost due to the volunteer support from our families.  Based on the Club’s volunteer bond, ALL Jackrabbit parents will be required to volunteer six hours throughout the season.  Numerous volunteer opportunities will be available from coach support for Bunnies, Group Monitoring for Jackrabbits, parking or snow grooming support and support for weekend events (Terrain Nights, Family Ski Days and the Cookie Race).  A full sign-up list with details on volunteer jobs will be available and communicated before the first on-snow sessions.

    For information on the volunteer bond and the many other volunteer opportunities available throughout the year, see Club Volunteer Opportunities.

    We also welcome keen parents with strong basic ski skills to become coaches. Please note your interest when you register or contact the Jackrabbit Coach/Leader Coordinator.

  • If you have any questions, please e-mail the Cross Country Manger.
