This session will build on week 4 and help you develop your skate technique.
Improvers and Intermediates coaching
Develop your skills and learn to roller ski more efficiently with tuition from our expert coaches. The aim will be to help you ski better, more efficiently and with less (wasted) effort. These sessions are for roller skiers who want to refresh/refine/improve their skills.
- Intermediates coaching is for competent roller skiers who want to refresh/refine/improve their skills.
- Improvers coaching is subject to coach availability and is for those who have attended beginner sessions for some time, can ski the circuit safely and want to develop their technique.
- You choose which group you wish to join during the booking process.
Our aim is to run both groups subject to coach availability and number of participants. If we are only able to run one of the groups and that group is unsuitable for you, you will be credited if you use a 1 of your 'any 5 sessions' or have purchased a single session.
