PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
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.
REQUIRED EQUIPMENT
- 1 pair each of skate and classic skis, poles and boots (combi boots not recommended)*
- Grip and glide wax for all conditions
- Running shoes, ski striding poles (mid-chest height, downhill poles not recommended)
- Backpack that can carry water, weather appropriate training clothes
*Coaches will assist in sizing and selection of equipment at early season ski sales.
VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENT/OTHER VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
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 Track Attack parents will be required to volunteer a certain number hours throughout the season. The volunteer hours required for each program is available on the Volunteer page. Numerous volunteer opportunities to help with Track Attack will be available including assistance at weekend work-outs, wax support at races, and planning and organizing trips, races and non-competitive camps, events and activities. Sign-up lists with details on volunteer jobs will be shared with parents.
For information on the volunteer bond and other volunteer opportunities available throughout the year, see Club Volunteer Opportunities.
