Sunday 4/5/25 - LRNSC roller skiing

You are invited to the following roller skiing activities:

• 1230 Fun race No 2 - classic technique, 2 laps,
• 1300-1500 Learn to roller ski course for beginners - week 5 skate
• 1300-1500 Improvers/intermediates coaching - skate

Fun race No 2

This is the second of the six races in our 2025 Fun Race Series which is is intended for occasional racers and those who want to have fun while testing their skills against themselves and against the clock. You can race on whichever roller skis you prefer and it's free to enter for LRNSC members.

Learn to roller ski course [5th of 5 sessions]

You'll learn the basics focusing on balance and co-ordination - how to glide using classic technique [diagonal stride] and double poling, uphill and downhill techniques, simple turns and how to stop, plus you'll learn about equipment. We'll also introduce you to skating technique.

We teach classic technique on the first three sessions of the course then introduce skating. Classic technique is the most common form of cross country skiing. If you go to a cross country skiing area you’ll always find classic tracks but not always those prepared for skating technique.

Course dates:  [2, 16 & 30/3, 13/4] 4/5  

NB You need to confirm attendance at subsequent dates by booking & selecting the 'confirming attendance' option.

Coaching for beginners, improvers and intermediates

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. 

• Beginners coaching is for those who have attended no previous roller ski sessions, or just 1 or 2 sessions.
• Improvers coaching is subject to coach availability and is for those who have attended a number of beginner sessions & can ski the circuit safely.
• Intermediates coaching is for competent roller skiers who want to refresh/refine/improve their skills.  
• You choose which group you wish to join during the booking process.

NB Our aim is to run all groups subject to coach availability and number of participants.  If we are not able to place you in a suitable group, you will be credited if you use a 1 of your 'any 5 sessions', or have purchased a single session.

Children's coaching

Designed for children aged 7-12 these sessions aim to develop skiing skills through play and fun. The focus will be on movement that develops coordination, technique and speed, both individually and as part of the group.
