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