Boston-Area Nordic ski training for athletes 14-18 years old.

Led by award-winning coach Rob Bradlee, FTN offers training for competitive junior-level skiers. We help athletes improve their physical conditioning and technique, in addition to helping them build teamwork and leadership skills. We train and race as a team.

Our Team

The Freedom Trail Nordic (FTN) juniors program is for skiers looking not only to improve their physical conditioning and technique, but to be part of an inclusive and welcoming community. Our focus is on developing the whole athlete, including teaching teamwork and leadership skills.


Our Goals

Whether the goal is to qualify for the U16 Championships, NENSA Eastern High School Championships, or make the New England Junior National Championship Team, FTN offers the right physical and technical training to help young athletes be successful. Each skier receives individualized support to set goals, track progress and race at peak performance.


Our Program

We offer a comprehensive year-round training program that spans from early May 2024 to mid-March 2025, including both dryland and on-snow training. Although the program is designed for athletes with Nordic skiing as their primary competitive focus, FTN can additionally accommodate juniors participating in other seasonal sports.

 

Year-Round Program, Cost & Registration

FTN’s proven strength, conditioning and balance program for juniors includes roller skiing, running, dry-land training and on-snow sessions in the winter. The cost to participate in the annual program is currently $3,000 and includes coached training 4-6 times per week. NOTE: all juniors members MUST have an active NENSA membership to participate.
