The Snowsport Scotland Nordic Development Committee ran a two day rollerski based course for level 1 Nordic Instructors this weekend at Huntly. The tutors were Roger Homyer and Roy Young. The course focussed on improving the individual skiing skills of the trainees and their coaching skills. This should provide a boost to the teaching Huntly Junior Development Squad next winter as well as club nights.
In the end all 9 trainees passed the course assessment with one deferred pass. The course was challenging and great fun. Thanks to Roger and Roy for running it and the club for the sponsorship.
Congratulations to Malcolm and Kay Cooper, Will Strohm, Paul Gray, Claudia Zeiske, Deborah May, Ruaridh Newman & Alex Standen on passing the course.
Hopefully a level 2 course will be run in the summer for the more technically gifted.
