Youth (BKL) XC Ski Program
Discover the Joy of Nordic Skiing
The Dublin XC Youth Nordic Ski Program introduces young athletes to the excitement of cross-country skiing in a fun, supportive, and active environment. Designed for elementary and middle school aged skiers, this program focuses on building fundamental skills, confidence on skis, and a lifelong love of winter sport.
Whether a child is stepping onto skis for the first time or looking to improve their technique, our experienced coaches help every athlete progress at their own pace while having a great time on the trails.
Registration is currently closed. Registration for the 2027 season will open in the late fall.
BKL (Youth) Information
Grade levels K-8
Once or twice a week
We’re working on some updated details.
Gear
Skiers in grades K-2 will ski using classic technique only. Skiers in grades 3-8 will ski using both classic and skate techniques. We suggest getting combi boots that will work for both techniques. Most of our BKL skis use NNN style bindings that fit with NNN boots. If you are purchasing used gear, make sure you are aware of boot/binding type.
