Learn-to-Rollerski

NENSA offers a number of “Learn-to-Rollerski” clinics which are sessions aimed at those new to rollerskiing. These clinics are often held in conjunction with NENSA rollerski races or camps. Attendees will have access to NENSA’s rollerski fleet but need to supply their own boots, poles, and helmet. For equipment guidelines, see our Rollerski Policies and Procedures page here. These clinics focus on teaching the fundamentals of skiing, including stopping, turning, basic techniques, agility skills, and engaging games. For the latest information on upcoming events, please check our events calendar.

Request NENSA-led Rollerski Clinic for your club/camp: Email our Youth & Introductory Program Director at mackenzie@nensa.net to check on staff availability and schedule a session. We charge $10/person for clinics which helps cover a portion of associated costs (i.e. staff travel) but if your program cannot afford the fee, please let us know and we will figure something out. 

USSS Coaches Certification/On-Rollerski Assessments 

NENSA works with US Ski and Snowboard to administer the national USSS coach education program. While NENSA works to schedule USSS L100 and L200 clinics during the ski season, we also recognize that for many coaches, completing assessments during the Summer/Fall makes more sense with their schedules, and we are happy to provide rollerski assessments. NENSA's guide to the USSS certification system is available HERE. Certification assessments for L100 and L200 are always posted on the NENSA calendar HERE. Certification assessments are completed with one of the USSS National Faculty members in New England. If you are in need of a certification assessment, reach out to NENSA Competitive Program Director Ben Theyerl, ben@nensa.net.

USSS National Faculty in New England:

  • Ben Theyerl, NENSA - Regional Coordinator.
  • Alex Jospe, Stratton Mountain School, Vermont.
  • Justin Fereshetian, Colby College, Maine.
