Nordic Skiing – Middle School

The Derryfield Middle School Coed Nordic team introduces athletes to both classic and skate ski techniques. For some it will be their first time on skis, while others may come to the team with race experience. Before snow flies, the team practices on “dry land”, working on both strength and endurance. Once snow covers the ground we be skiing on our trails here on the Derryfield property during practice time. Our hope is that team members show improvement as the season progresses, work together as part of a team, and gain confidence. Our schedule includes approximately one meet per week with a final state meet in which all team members participate.
