I’m excited to announce registration for the Rochester
Nordic Racing Summer Program is now open!
The R.N.R summer program is a roller ski specific
summer training program for athletes J3-U23 (8th grade- college). We have
developmentally appropriate programs for all ages and abilities.
R.N.R has been able to be successful with the support
of local athletes, high school coaches, and families. Last summer the program
included high school athletes from Brighton ,
Fairport, HF-L, Pittsford, and Webster. Over the past 4 years we have also had
a lot of athletes move on to ski at the collegiate level and many of them will
be back this summer as well.
With the continued growth and support I’m glad to announce that
we will be offering a Development Program for athletes with no prior roller
skiing experience. The Devo Team will be a spring board for athletes to enter
in to the Prep and Comp Teams. The Teams are always changing and as athlete’s
abilities and needs change the ability to move up and down within the teams is
a fluid process. The (Team) is a lose designation for the training groups
athletes will be split in to for specific workouts.
Comp Team:
Comp Team- Designed for J2-U23 ski racers competing at the
regional and junior national level. The training focus includes endurance, ski
specific strength, speed, agility, power, balance, mobility and flexibility.
Technique will be an emphasis and will be an on-going project throughout the
summer. Video analysis will be utilized to address specific skier’s needs. This
program will provide a solid platform towards continued excellence at the high
school and collegiate level.
The program will meet twice a week (Monday and Wednesday) as
well as either Saturday or Sunday of each week. There will also be
specific weekends where we would travel as a team to Mid-Atlantic sponsored
camps for those athletes that are interested.
Prep Team:
Prep Team- Designed for J3-J1 athletes competing at the
local level with little or no previous roller ski experience. The program will
mirror that of the Comp Team in a developmentally appropriate setting. The goal
of the Prep Team is to facilitate athlete’s transition to the Comp Team.
The program will meet twice a week (Monday and Wednesday) as
well as either Saturday or Sunday of each week. There will also be
specific weekends where we would travel as a team to Mid-Atlantic sponsored
camps for those athletes that are interested.
Devo Team:
Devo Team- Designed for J3-J1 athletes who have
little to no prior roller skiing experience. The devo or development
program provides a developmentally appropriate setting
for beginner roller skiers to become conformable on
roller skis, refine technique, and
learn basic training theories and ideas, as well as
providing a base of fitness to build upon in the future.
