To help guide all our young skiers, we need as many helping hands as we
can get. Many of our volunteer coaches graduate along with their
children as they grow and join the middle school and high school teams.
Please consider helping us out. You don't need to be an expert skier,
you just need to have patience and a positive attitude. Please reach out
to iolawintersportsclub@gmail.com to let them know you're interested in
volunteering. It's a great opportunity to get on skis with your kids,
and become even more a part of the IWSC community.
Please visit the Membership page to begin the registration process.
Participation
- All children ages ten and under along with their families. As soon as a child can walk, they can cross country ski.
- Parents are welcome to join us out on the trail - as long as they are on cross country skis.
Our Focus
- Teaching the fundamentals of classic style cross country skiing. Activities and games allowing children to enjoy the outdoors during the wonderful Wisconsin winters are a key part of the program. Parents are encouraged to participate in each lesson along with their children.
What's Included
- With your IWSC Family Membership you'll have access to trails, equipment for children enrolled in the YSP anytime they want to ski, and equipment for parents anytime they ski with their children.
