 AFTER SCHOOL LUGE PROGRAM OFFERED

The US Luge Association/Youth Sports Alliance After School Luge Program is designed specifically for youth ages 8-13 (minimum height 52 inches), who have never been on a sled before. This program can lead directly to on-going training opportunities with the Wasatch Luge Club's Youth Training Program and national level competitions.

All athletes start at curve 12, the lowest point available on the track to run sleds. Here we take the first few runs on the last 4 curves (bottom 1/4) of the track. Once everyone is comfortable we move up the track to the Tourist Start (one curve and straightaway higher).

The program runs for 3 consecutive Fridays with registered participants sliding on all three of the dates. After the program concludes athletes are then welcome to continue training with the Wasatch Luge Club's Youth Training Program (meets Saturday nights).

Transportation to the Utah Olympic Park (UOP) and athlete pick up from the UOP after sliding will need to be done by parents. For students attending Ecker Hill Middle School transportation to and from the UOP is provided. All athletes (students) need to be at the UOP by 2:00 PM. They will slide from 2:30-4:00 and be available for pick up at 4:00 PM. Parents are gladly invited to stay and watch.

PROGRAM DETAILS

Dates: October 30, November 6, and November 13

Time:
Arrive UOP 2:00 PM
Slide 2:30-4:00 PM
Available for pick up 4:00 PM

Cost: $100, includes all equipment, coaching, track fees, and membership to USA Luge.
