CXC Ski and Tea Clinics
The CXC Elite Team ladies, in conjunction with Ski and Tea, are proud to announce a series of women specific clinics in the Hayward area. The series will be in five parts, each lead by one of the CXC ladies. It will be progressive in nature: beginning with dryland technique work, progressing to rollerskis, on snow work, and then finally cumulating with a pre-birkie race tactic clinic.
Ski and Tea, a local women’s training group, is organizing the clinics, but you don’t have to be a member to enjoy this opportunity. All women interested in improving their technique, learning more about the sport, and having a great time within a supportive women’s only environment are encouraged to attend. Prior knowledge of Nordic skiing is not necessary, although experienced veterans will still benefit from the fun drills designed to teach and cement proper technique. “We’re hoping to attract women of all levels and abilities. The only requirement is excitement for skiing and improvement”, says CXC team member and Hayward resident Heather Zimmerman.
Kristina Owen, another CXC member, says: “The clinics will be progressive and build on each other, so if you can, I’d recommend attending all five. But we also know that people are busy, and we’ll make sure you’re not lost if you have to miss one. Come to what you can, they’re going to be a blast!”
Each four-hour clinic will be $50.00 per person and is tax deductible. You can register for each clinic separately or all of them together. Registration and payment must be received at least five days before the clinic date. Registration forms and more information can be found at www.kristinaowen.com/skiandteaclinics.
CLINIC DATES
All clinics will be held rain or shine at the “OO” warming hut from 8:00-12:00 noon.
