July 30, 2010 (Gatineau Park, QC) – Regarding the ongoing discussion about youth training the LifeSki Academy wants to contribute to this topic from its perspective. There are preferable dryland activities over roller skiing especially for early-junior preparation. Multiplicity and technique perfection should be at the top of the list over other goals.

The Academy is running an early-fall dryland camp for young cross-country skiers to assess and improve their movement technique in regular fall activities such as running, core strength, plyometrics, ski striding-bouncing, pre and post-training stretching, and roller skiing. The camp is run by an international coach will provide instant feedback and an individual approach for each student during the workouts. The structure of the 4-day camp respects all physiological and sport training patterns.

Young athletes will experience group practices with team mates from other local clubs. They will interact with new activities including team games, exercises, and drills. For more details and registration please visit www.lifeski.com.
