The goal is to have fun. The coaches hope to instill in the team members a love of cross country skiing, being outdoors, and being physically active. To accomplish this, the kids will be taught the mechanics of skiing and waxing so they can become proficient in the sport and accomplish their goals. As a natural outgrowth, they will learn the value of commitment to a task and that success requires individual effort, responsibility, and discipline. The team promotes good sportsmanship, teamwork and support for fellow team members.
Competition is just one aspect of our sport and our program.
We will foster a competitive spirit that is focused on improving one's own performance, not defeating one another. Balance is important in skiing and balance is important in life. The coaching staff recognizes the essential elements of academics and family, as well as sport, in one's life. To achieve mental and physical well-being, the integration of physical, spiritual, educational, personal and social growth is necessary. It is our goal to foster all of these.
