rollerski club: year round XC ski training SUBS - JOIN - PROGRAMME - RACES - PICTURES Think of our club as a weekly gym session - on skis. It is a 90-minute cross-country ski workout which is pretty unique in London. Sessions cover technique, strength and endurance. You will become a better skier, acquire core-strength, lose weight and do a lot more exercise than you realise BACKGROUND: The biggest question we have had from students after our courses is 'what do we do now?' After doing a course of rollerski instruction, most people are fired up to do some more and become faster, fitter and more skillful skiers. In response to this demand, we now introduce our rollerski club, with a focus more on coaching than instruction, and with regular weekly sessions. ETHOS: We want the rollerski club to bring you the same enthusiastic and individual approach which comes with our instruction, focusing more on developing your performance as skiers, and not just technical instruction. Sessions will have a greater emphasis on developing fitness, strength, and endurance - to make you fitter and better skiers on rollerskis and snow. HOW IT WORKS:
PROGRAMME: Click here for details of our programme. COACHING: coaching will come from our existing team - see our profiles here - but we will arrange for guest coaches to lead occasional sessions, each with their own experience and insights. TOURS: we will organise ad hoc tours and trips, which will be open to club members and all-comers. ON-SNOW: we anticipate members having their own on-snow objectives and plans. We offer trips which you can conisder, but the club is for all, whatever you want to do on snow! WHO CAN JOIN: the club is for everyone, young and old, fit or not. Proficiency on rollerskis is a definite pre-requisite, but if you can't currently rollerski, our instruction will get you skiing well within weeks - depending on your fitness and balance. Just join a course or book an individual lesson. COST: There is a joining fee of £20 (waived for anyone joining within 30 days of completing a 4-week course) and ongoing fee of £20 per month excluding ski hire, or £30 per month including ski hire. We'd encourage you to buy your own skis sooner rather than later, as you will benefit for being able to train on your own between club sessions, and on tours. You can join by Standing Order or PayPal - click here for the joining page. CO-OPERATION: The aim of the club is to offer something which doesn't already exist in London. We are proud to be unique, and to be promoting cross-country skiing in the way we are. We thank everyone who's rollerskied with us so far (over 200), and who's given us the confidence to start the rollerski club. We also hope the club will continue to generate new interest in cross-country skiing, and bring new people into events run by other organisations in the London region. ANY QUESTIONS: Please contact us if you need any more information on the club. Otherwise, we hope you will join us and make this a success.
