Over December 12-15 (two weekday evenings, a full Saturday, and a half-day on Sunday) we’re hosting a Learn to Train On-Snow course in Yellowknife.

In Competition Coaching Introduction (CCI-L2T) coaches develop skills to deliver a well-rounded program for athletes aged 9-12 years old. The emphasis is on skill development within a fun, team-oriented environment that develops a passion for the lifelong health and fitness benefits of cross-country skiing.

Perquisites include the Community Coaching course, NCCP Make Ethical Decisions online evaluation and complete the NCCP Community Coaching Experience Form, available in the Document Centre. Ideally, you will also have L2T Dryland.

NWT coaches, it's that time of year again to register for your free coaching licence here: https://nordiqcanada.ca/coaches-and-wax-techs/coaches/coaching-license/

Learn more about coaching licences from Nordiq Canada:

Coaches have incredible influence and responsibility for athlete development. Nordiq Canada and provincial and territorial Divisions need to know who is coaching and what their coaching status is. The Coaching Licence also helps us collect the data we need to support coaches, assess trends and develop initiatives that benefit skiers.

You need a coaching license if you perform typical coaching or instruction tasks with a Nordiq Canada club, including delivering or helping to deliver practices with any age group.

The license is renewable annually and is valid from July 1 to June 30.

The Cross Country AGM will be held over Zoom on Monday, June 17 at 6:30pm. If you'd like to attend, email us at nwtski@g...

Loads of great knowledge, skills, and ideas for developing our amazing skiers in the NT. Thanks Cross Country NWT; what a fantastic opportunity!
