Let's skate ski again as I've been informed that the other squads will be skating tomorrow for the race.
We''ll meet outside at 4:30 in our usual place. If there are enough coaches we can split into two for 20 minutes or so. One group can go up to the Twisted trail, the other just above the bike park to work on ski technique with no poles.
Let's get the kids thinking about balancing so if you can find a slope and ask them to practice going downhill on one ski for a few seconds that would be ideal. I find it's best to pick just one thing per practice to focus on or the kids get confused with too many directions. A gentle slope works best for practising balancing and gliding on one ski.
After 20 minutes or so we can meet in the stadium and we'll play some games again...this time we'll be armed with the combination so we can get into retrieve some toys. I'm thinking of a raucous game of Chuck the Chicken.
Hope you can all stay for the super hero race and chilli afterwards.
Cheers
