Ski League Program Information
A Cross-Country Ski Program for children aged 3 to 12
The Ski League Program is a child centred program to develop excellent cross country ski technique in a fun environment. The Ski League program at Stake Lake is run by the Overlander Ski Club for children 3 to 12 years old with the emphasis on fun, participation, skill development and safety. The objective of the program is to provide the opportunity for children to progress through the sport at their own ‘speed’ based on their ability, skills and interests.
Our program is based on Cross Country Canada's Skill Development Program (SDP). The SDP is part of Sport Canada's new Long Term Athlete Development Model - a model designed to help develop all sport participants to their potential and to encourage life-long participation in sport. A detailed outline of the new levels can be found on the SKI LEAGUE page.
Returning skiers will be placed into groups based on their skill levels.
Bunnyrabbits
(ages 3 to 5)
Jackrabbits (Levels 1 to 4)
(ages 6 to 9 OR beginning skiers over age 9)
Track Attack Program
(ages 9 to 12)
Sessions are held Sundays at Stake Lake beginning in late December (weather dependent), from 1:30 to 3:00 or 3:30 p.m. (Bunny lessons are approximately one hour). The nine-session program will continue until the first week of March. Additional lessons may be offered to more advanced levels on Wednesday evenings. The day lodge will open to allow skiers to change afterwards. The Wednesday lessons are usually held in conjunction with skiers involved in the Junior Development program. For those who are interested, some training concepts will be introduced by participating in age and ability-appropriate activities.
