Creative Class Handling Skills (Paid)

It takes many seasons to have your class handling skills totally dialed. But if you come to this PAID clinic you’ll get some ideas on how to be successful with those challenging kids and adult lessons the next time you are faced with the challenge! The clinic is open to skiers and snowboarders, as class handling is a cross discipline skill.

Creative class handling for kids includes:

• Play – it’s what kids do best
• Rules – kids need them
• Competition Games – who can do …?

How to handle a split – Every Lesson is a split! Embrace this!

• Celebrate success – verbal rewards – kids want to please their teacher
• If kids aren’t getting “it” try the next thing
• If kids aren’t doing it, is it because they don’t want to?
• What are you doing to inspire them to want to do it?

Engagement

• Engaged kids are attentive kids
• Props are fun! Stuffies, bubbles, frogs, army men
• Choose your own adventure – each child tells / does a part of the story
