Juniors: April Training & Beyond

[Back to the Club Updates page]

EVERYONE:

  • Season-long rental equipment can be returned at any point—it all goes back to the CLUBHOUSE

    • But you’re also welcome to hang on to equipment for as long as there’s decent snow. The “have it back or face threats of having to pay for all of it” deadline is May 1, but typically we get a lot of stuff in early April. It’s a self-return sort of scheme. 

    • No, we don’t have info lined up about summer camps, practice days, etc., yet. We’ll get it to everyone once we do. 

  • Useful dates:

    • Cochran’s Nordic X: April 4: https://cochranskiarea.com/nordicx/

    • Mud ‘n’ Ice: April 11: https://www.craftsbury.com/events/mni

JUNIORS:

  • What do I do in April? If you’re not already playing a spring sport at school, April is a great time to take a little break and then ease yourself back into running and strength so that you can hit the ground running (ha) in May. We plunked ideas for the whole month into the training plan below. Be flexible for the weather, be realistic about how much your body wants you to ease into running, and just try to move around outside a bit on more days than not. Spring practices will begin the week of May 4. Schedule and details to come.

  • About summer: this year we’ll be requiring some degree of summer training for kids who want to do the Eastern Cup circuit in the winter. We’re also going to begin phasing out rollerski equipment rentals for juniors. More to come on both of those subjects, but consider this a heads up.

BIATHLETES:

  • About Summer: We offer weekly summer BKL, Jr/U14 and Adult biathlon programs. Sign-ups open later in the spring once we get through the chaos of the last few ski race weeks and recover for a bit. This year we’ll be requiring some degree of summer biathlon training for kids who want to do our Jr/U14 biathlon program during the winter. Stay tuned for more info.
