Abstract

Children can start with skiing at any age between preschool and school age. Teaching methodology however must respect the rules of development of child's organism.

So the initial exercises will differ for different age groups. With youngest children the emphasis at the beginning will be on getting used to ski boots and walk in them.

With older children this will be joined by getting used to skis and movement on them - both walking and gliding. Exercises to develop balance and coordination will also be included.
