WINTHROP AREA YMCA
Cross Country Ski Program
This winter the Winthrop Area YMCA will sponsor a Cross Country ski program led by Winthrop High School Coach, Ed Van Tassel, for local boys and girls ages 8 to 13 years old. This year there will be two groups held: a learn to ski group and a racing ski group. The racing group will be geared toward middle school aged kids who already share experience in how to ski and want to take their skills further.
The program will be held at the Guerrette Family Trails at Winthrop High School. The program will start January 5th and run through February 27th. The learn to ski program will meet on Mondays from 3:30pm-4:30pm. The racing group will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays from 2:30pm-4:30pm. Saturday practices for both groups will be determined at a later date.
The racing group will be looking to do 3-4 races and a schedule will be available at a later time provided by coaches. All participants will need cross-country skis as well as boots and poles. Any basic equipment should work fine for the learn to ski program, but the racing group will need more specific equipment.
Program Fee:
- Learn To Ski Program - $25
- Racing Ski Program - $50
*All fees will cover the cost of grooming trails and wax supplies for the racing team.
