Our early session camps are designed to keep fundamental development and tactical decision making on the front burner. Each camp begins with a timed run and ends with a timed run to demonstrate new skill development learned at camp. Racers will have a complete analysis of where they are and be introduced to new techniques to overcome weaknesses and exploit their natural talents. Our system of training is unique and on the cutting edge of skill development. We will assess each racer individually and introduce new tools to help racers understand the balance between speed, line, ability and courage. This camp is appropriate for all ages and is limited to 12 participants to keep coach to racer ration low.
