Winter is the time for skiers, sledges and skates lovers almost throughout our country. As part of the child’s physical development program at school, skiing is compulsory. Classes help strengthen immunity, train all muscle groups. Ski training at the school is carried out in all classes without exception. The program in this direction is given 16 teaching hours. Children should acquire skiing skills and learn basic ways of moving on them in order to increase physical activity and strengthen their own health.
In solving these problems, ski training techniques are of great importance. Children learn to perform the tasks of the teacher, paying attention to individual elements. To learn how to get down from the mountain, it is worth working out the technique of ramp and proper braking.
Ski training in primary school
Regardless of the age category of children, safety precautions must be followed during ski lessons at school. In primary school, children receive the very first skills in handling sports equipment. Therefore, the issue of observing safety precautions is most acute here. Firstly, for children it is necessary to choose the most correct skis, poles, shoes and bindings. Secondly, you need to learn how to fasten hard ski bindings and adjust soft ones. Thirdly, when explaining the rules of skiing to children, primary school children need a good example.
Ski training in primary school is the foundation. On how much the child learns the basics, his further success in this sport will depend. Therefore, most often, a physical education teacher in the elementary grades has to play the role of an instructor who carefully monitors each student and corrects the correctness of movements when completing tasks.
High school skiing
Despite the fact that children already have experience with sports equipment, safety measures at ski lessons should be reminded to students. Guys should know the following rules:
- Before the lesson, everyone should check their skis for serviceability (integrity of fastenings, absence of cracks).
- Do not wear skis immediately after going out. Inventory must adapt to low temperature.
- You can not wave sticks too actively so as not to cripple a comrade.
- The student must clearly comply with all the requirements of the teacher
In grades 5–7, skiing lessons involve the study of theory. Next is the development of knowledge in practice. High school students who have shown themselves to the best side become assistants to the physical education teacher at extracurricular activities related to skiing.
Rules for choosing skis and poles
In order for the ski training lessons at the school to go well, it is worth choosing the right sports equipment. The following rules should be followed:
- The length of the ski is selected in accordance with the growth of the student. If you put the ski vertically, the child, raising his hand up, should reach out with the palm of his hand.
- A ski stick with its vertical position should reach the axillary cavity of the student with his upper edge.
- Skiing is suitable for both wooden and plastic. Having opted for wooden skis, you need to check them for cracks and knots. It is advisable to choose plastic equipment with a scaly sliding base. Such skis will not require additional processing when weather conditions change.
- Ski poles should have special loops for the hands and a support ring at the bottom, so as not to disturb the balance of the child during movement.
Compliance with simple rules will help your child turn skiing lessons into a favorite activity, as well as eliminate injuries.
The right selection of shoes
Safety during ski lessons requires the right selection of shoes for classes. Of course, shoes should be comfortable for the child. In addition, you need to remember:

- Shoes should be one or two sizes larger so that you can wear two socks (the presence of wool is mandatory).
- Shoes need to be laced tightly to avoid ankle injury when a fall occurs.
The correct selection of shoes will help to avoid hypothermia and injuries.
