Multi Day Skeleton School

Once an athlete has participated in a Discover Program or a Talent ID Camp, they are eligible to  join us for a mulitday Skeleton school . Schools consist o f 2 x 2-3 hour training session over a weekend or two consecutive evenings. 

A professioal coach, will guide participants as they learn the essential skills and techniques required for steering a skeleton sled. Athletes will begin to build sliding run volume from the Maple Leaf start (Curve 11), learning and progressing their steering technique over the course of the school.  Once an athlete has been approved by the coach to slide from the Lower Ladies (Curve 7) start, they may join our provincial training program.

Each participant will progress at their own pace. It can take several schools to progress to the Lower Ladies start.
