24/25 JUNIOR D-TEAM

The D-team is a year round training program for those athletes who are highly committed and driven towards improvement in their Nordic ski racing, looking to compete beyond the high school season. This is achieved through hard work, dedication, and a positive attitude built around a healthy team culture. D-team athletes have expectations regarding training session attendance, communication, and overall behavior both within and outside of practice.  

NEW AND RETURNING D-team athletes are required to schedule a meeting with head coach, Liz Peterson, to discuss goals as well as expectations of D-team athletes prior to registering for the Endurance United D-team to ensure this is an appropriate program for individual athletes.

D-team program cost: $2900 (starts on April 16 - first day spring training).
Please schedule a meeting with Liz Peterson if you are interested in D-team but your personal schedule differs from the attendance requirement. (Expected to attend 90% of practices spring, summer, fall, plus compete in Junior Cup events).
Camp attendance is strongly encouraged. Camp registration fees are not included in the D-team cost, but D-team athletes will receive a discount on the overall camp fee.

*Monthly payment options available - please contact john.richter@enduranceunited.org for details.
