COMP & PREP
PREP
The FXC Prep program is designed for middle school skiers who are excited about training and racing, and want to continue to build their skills in a team environment. Prep is the next progression beyond Devo+, before Comp. This program includes multiple weekly training sessions and race support. This program has a strong emphasis on developing the fundamentals, teamwork, having fun, and learning more about the process of ski training and racing.
Prep athletes are encouraged to participate in local races and the Cross Country Alaska Besh Cup Series once they are eligible for U16 races. Athletes will receive full coach support at local races and Besh Cup Series Races.
COMP
FXC Comp is a full-service Nordic ski training and racing program for high school athletes and other athletes eligible to compete at Junior Nationals. We offer multiple weekly training sessions, plus individual follow-up for goal meetings, training reviews, personalized strength training programs, assistance with ski selection, and race support. The Comp program is designed to work in conjunction with high school training and racing.
Our coaches work closely with the Highschool Cross Country Ski teams. Practices are tailored to athletes competing in both Junior National Qualifiying races and highschoool racing.
