About Junior Fall Training
The training ramps up in intensity just as the school year starts up in Vermont. Whether you are participating in a school sport like XC running or soccer, or you’re looking to train for skiing primarily, MNC offers programming that can match your schedule and goals.
With a mix of rollerskiing, running and strength sessions each week, as well as options in the morning and evening, there’s many opportunities to join the team and coaches for specific training and activities!
MNC Academy/Full-Time
September 1st – November 30th 2025 (Fall Semester)
MNC Academy student-athletes are enrolled in 5+ days per week of MNC training.
This option is best for skiers looking to train full-time, not those pursuing a fall high school sports season.
Fall training includes weekly rollerskiing and running at the rollerski track in Jericho, strength training at the Mansfield Nordic Community Center, and competition throughout the fall in local running races and regional NENSA rollerski races.
1- or 2-Day/week Training
September 1st – November 30th 2025
MNC offers Fall training for a variety of session and weekly options. 1-day programming or 2-day programming helps athletes pick the amount of sessions that best meet their scheduling and fall sport flexibility.
Evenings on Tuesday and Thursday (Thursday in particular, if selecting 1-day programming) at the rollerski track in Jericho are some of the best sessions to attend if you are playing a fall sport and looking to add ski-specific training!
