The Junior Nordic Team (J2, J1 and 0J) is for 14 to 19 year olds who want to better their racing skills and understanding of the sport. This program emphasizes skiing improvement, competition and the development of athletes with skills to deal with all facets of nordic racing.  Skiers seeking additional support in school, regional and national races will find the low athlete/coach ratio and group setting advantageous. The benefits of this program are: personalized planning, technical instruction and group logistical support for practices and races coupled with the flexibility to adapt to each skier's individual goals and schedule. The program is designed to complement the local high school programs. Skiers should plan to participate in the majority of Ford Sayre supported NENSA races and are expected to keep a training diary.  Enrollment is limited to 15 skiers and is contingent upon previous Nordic racing experience and consultation with the coaches. Two options are offered for weekday winter season coaching: two sessions per workweek plus weekends or three sessions per workweek plus weekends. The program will offer the three sessions per workweek provided there is sufficient interest. The program runs November through March, and includes a summer training program.
