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 has a dual emphasis on skiing improvement and competition, and is designed to complement the local high school programs. Skiers should plan to participate in the majority of Ford Sayre supported NENSA races. 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. Enrollment is limited to 15 skiers and is contingent upon previous Nordic racing experience and consultation with the coaches. Program runs Nov through March, and includes a summer training program.
