Replying to How to Teach Someone How to Ski?
So I was hired as a ski coach at my local hill. I am a well experienced skier and have no worries while on the hill. The problem I am having is transferring my knowledge to kids and adults who have never strapped into a pair of skis before. If anyone who has taught or been in lessons in the past and has any tips or games to make the 2 hour lesson fun for them and give them the best chance of learning to ski would be great. (The hill has also given zero training in how to run these lessons and they are not given any poles.)
The lesson plan I have thought of to take up the two hour lesson time.
1. Go over parts of the skis.
2. How to clip in and out.
3. How to get up if/when they fall.
4. Pizza/ french fry.
5. Imagine holding a lunch tray in your hands with a glass of water on it and to balance the fake glass while turning down the hill.
Im not freaking out to much about giving the lesson, just any tips would be appreciated.
