Enjoy Nordic skiing without the snow with this opportunity to improve your skills through the dynamic and fun sport of roller skiing.
10:30-12:30 Beginners/improvers coaching - classic technique
The aim is to get you rolling safely and give you foundation from which you can develop your skiing. At this session we'll work on technique basics, focusing on balance, co-ordination and weight transfer.
You can book single sessions or for better value you can book any five sessions for £65.00 instead of £80.00 which can be used at any LRSNC venue. You will need to hire equipment if you don't have your own.
The group may include those who have done a previous roller ski session or have cross country skied on snow, as well as those with no previous experience.
10:30-12:30 Intermediates coaching - classic
The aim will be to help you ski better, more efficiently and with less (wasted) effort and coaching will be tailored to participants' needs. This is for competent roller skiers who want to refresh/refine/improve their skills.
