Our Jackrabbit program is built on the dedication of volunteer coaches who complete NCCP training through a combination of online and in-person workshops. Anyone with enthusiasm and a spirit of volunteerism can become a Jackrabbit coach. No prior experience is required!
One of the best parts of taking the coaching courses is how much you’ll improve your own skiing. Learning to teach technique to others is one of the most effective ways to develop and refine your own skills.
Consider becoming a Jackrabbit coach and help inspire a lifelong love of cross-country skiing in our youth
