TEACHING METHODS

Our students are taught the basic technique the correct and safe way. Further on, the goal of the classes is to consolidate and perfect the technique at all levels and in different terrains and types of snow.

Our main goal is to improve your personal technique. Our students learn in a playful way new things and consolidate in different exercises and games what they already know.

Snow Leagues

The association of the Swiss Ski and Snowboard Schools (www.snowsports.ch) developed a new teaching plan: The Swiss Snow League. Following the classes of the Snow League fun and learning progress are guaranteed! EXOsports has adopted this teaching concept to the Greek snow sports reality.

The EXOsports teaching plan is structured in four basic parts:

• 1

  Snow Kids: Here the youngest children get to know the basics of snow sports. How to put on boots and skies, fall and stand up and in general how to make the first step in this new world.
• 2

  Blue League: Basic knowledge of how to use the skis, to climb, use the lift, to traverse a slope, learn the "plough"-position, small jumps
• 3

  Red League: Drive in more difficult terrains, parallel turning, slalom


• 4

  Black League: short parallel turning, synchronized turning, driving in unprepared slopes (powder), carving techniques

Each league has three sub categories: prince/princess - king/queen - star and refers to a specific level with clearly defined learning goals. That is how the leagues help the instructors to evaluate the student’s skiing and boarding skills and adjust the learning matter to his or her abilities. Every child gets a booklet where the ski instructors note its progress and at the end of every league the student passes a small achievement test. A successful test means, that he/she moves on to the next league.

Snow Sport Experience

Snow sports for kids it’s not only a physical exercise, but something more than that and our children have to get to know it. The teaching goal of EXOsports considers integral experience in the nature, with friends and your own body. With us our children learn to recognize risks, to take care of themselves and their colleagues and to discover their abilities and potentials.
