Children and youth can enroll in the Seasonal Novice Luge Program if they want to start luge as a weekly activity. Each week, participants can train on-ice one to three times. Advancement and skill development are ensured by consistent coaching support. The coaches not only teach technique, cooperation, and sportsmanship to the young athletes, but they also educate them about luge as a whole (read more about our coaches here).
