Summer Nordic
Combined Opportunities
-
Please mark the following dates on your
calendars- these are opportunities for
any and ALL jumpers (not just
nordic combined athetes) to learn some cross
country techniques and HAVE SOME FUN. I have
acquired a bunch of roller ski poles of various
sizes, so kids can bring their roller blades or
even try out some of our roller skis.
-
June 21-22-
Blackhawk camp - We will practice some "hillbounding"
and technique work for about an hour on Saturday
(bring poles if you have them), and Sten
Fjeldheim, head coach of the NMU (Northern
Michigan University) ski team will be available
to assist older kids who wish to work on
rollerski technique. Also, there will be an NC
race as part of the Sunday Competition.
.
July 26-27-
St Paul camp- Sten has offered to work with kids
this weekend as well.
July 29-Aug 2-
Park City (SpringerTournee NC foot races; start
sleeping in your high altitude tents now!)
August 14-17-
Marquette, MI- This is an exciting chance
to learn technique and possibly a session on the
roller ski treadmill and use of the NMU
facilities. There are many fun recreational
activities in the area which we are planning-
biking, trail running, cliff jumping in
the Big Lake, etc. For older athletes interested
in developing a training program, for a small
fee they could have lactate threshold testing
done which would be very beneficial.
Please let me know IMMEDIATELY if you
have interest so we can plan, since we may
pursue lodging at the Olympic Education Center
if enough athletes can attend. The
cost will be very nominal- no coaching fees, and
lodging will be pursued to be as inexpensive as
possible, as above.
Norge's camps this
summer will feature some NC-type activities!

Fall - NC dates are still pending and
notification will occur later.
-
For those unable to attend these offerings, I
encourage you to simply stay active- run, bike,
play soccer, rollerblade- get that heart pumping
a few times a week and you will be in shape for
the winter season. If anyone has questions about
training or any NC issues, please don't hesitate
to contact me. Hope to see you soon!

SUPPORT WOMEN'S SKI JUMPING! * New Stuff
Available!
Central junior women's ski jumper
Karin Friberg sent the following
note regarding new women's ski jumping t-shirts
and souvenirs available via online order:
-
I designed t-shirts for all the
girls. I especially thought it would be cool
for all the girls attending the girls camp in
park city to have one, but they are open for
anyone to buy! The URL for ordering is
www.cafepress.com/centralwomen.
Also note that even though it says Baby as one
of the headers, I really included a child's size
t-shirt, which happens to be put under that
category. Unfortunately the kid's shirts didn't
come in pink. So if you want a pink one, it has
to be in women's sizes.
