USSA Level 100 Coaches' Certification is the first level of a multi-level cross country-specific coaches education certification system. The curriculum is based on up-to-date practices used by the U.S. Ski Team in the quest for Olympic medals. The course material comes directly from the Team’s coaches and several of their key partners.
Through the Level 100 certification, you can:
- Invigorate your team by learning more about training cross country skiers.
- Provide an environment in which your athletes can maximize their talent.
- Help raise the level of skiing in the U.S. to medal-winning heights.
