Looking to update your knowledge of dryland ski training techniques?

A Level O Cross Country Skiing Coach Dryland Training Course will be held at the Willoughby Leisure Centre in Sydney on Sunday June 24. This course is designed for coaches, teachers and parents working with athletes at Interschool level, with this course focusing on dryland preparation and including an introduction to ski bounding, rollerskiing and strength training.

The course runs from 3:00pm to 5:30pm on the Sunday afternoon. Normally this course has a $90 fee, however this course in Sydney has been subsidised by NSWXC and will be free for all SSA members. Free Snowracer membership is available via the Snowracer website.

All participants are expected to participate in the physical activities of the session, including the rollerskiing if they have their own equipment. However the rollerskiing component is not mandatory.

It is not a pre-requisite, however participants are encouraged to complete the Australian Sports Commission Basic Coaching General Principles, online through the ASC website prior to attending the course. Other information on SSA's XC Coach education is available on AUSXC.com.
