“Nakkertok would like to thank the National Winter Sports Development Association for their ongoing support, enabling us to hire our professional coaching staff.”

Nakkertok runs one of the largest and most successful cross country ski racing programs in Canada. The program is offered for athletes from age 9-20+ and follows the Cross Country Canada Long Term Athlete Development Model. Each program level is designed to match the physical and technical ability of the athlete. For a general overview of the cost structure, see directly below.

A specific summary for each level is available in the boxes below.

The U12 – Racing Rabbits is an introduction program to the racing program with a focus on developing ski skills, physical literacy (agility, balance, coordination), speed and approaches to racing. It introduces young athletes to the fun of competition, different types of races and training. For news about racing rabbits, see U12 – Racing Rabbits.

(Formerly Juniors) Training ratchets up to a high volume and intensity, designed to refine mental, physical and emotional techniques as well as technical skills and strategies in competition. With the increase in fitness expectations comes concomitant coaching supervision.
