Calling all parents of 2nd-5th graders: Sign-up time for X-country Ski Team!

Dryland Training

Even though the trees are just starting to show their beautiful fall colors, x-country ski season is right around the corner!  SVSEF offers fun programs for your 2nd – 5th graders through our Development (“Devo”) Team in both Ketchum & Hailey.  Dryland training begins the first week of November, and NOW is the time to get signed up!

 What to expect?

Our coaches focus on creating a fun team dynamic and learning atmosphere through games, off-trail adventures, big air contests, challenging workouts and the occasional ski burning /marshmallow roasting rituals! Skiers learn the basics of cross-country skiing (both classic and skate).  The emphasis is on having fun, developing a love of the outdoors and learning good skiing techniques.

 Our Hailey program meets Tuesdays & Thursdays at Quigley Nordic.  The bus from Hailey Elementary drops kids off right at the head of the Quigley trail system at our ski trailer (behind Wood River High School) at approx. 2:45pm.   Our Ketchum program meets Mondays & Wednesdays at the Lake Creek Hut. Busses drop students off at approx. 2:45.  Devo practice ends at 4:30pm.  Kids do need to have their own equipment (or lease package), but no trail pass is necessary for children 12 and under. 

 Please call Devo Team Head Coach Dave Bingham at 720-1479, or Svea Grover at 720-0377 for more information.   Or, visit us at svsef.org and click on the Programs and Registrations tab for details.
