Some of the Drills & Discussion we may include are:
  1. V1, V2, and V2 Alternate - what does each look like
  2. No poles alignment drills
Future drills may include:
  1. No poles gliding drills
  2. Dry-land exercises, including bounding and plyometrics
  3. Obstacle course for improving close proximity directional changes
  4. Skiers "catch" - tossing objects between each other while skiing
Hope you can make it!
