Individual and group skiing lessons on Kopaonik

The recommended age for starting with lessons is 3+ years old. Kids primarily learn by imitating the instructor. Children start with exercises on a flat base, and then move onto gentle slopes.

Since they are younger, they typically require more animation, so the training is based on games etc. to capture their attention and gain their interest. With older children, focus shifts to working on technique and correcting errors. In addition to ski knowledge, children also master the rules of behavior on the ski slopes and the use of cable cars.

The verbal method of training is much more prevalent in training sessions for adults. Adult beginners often experience fear and require assurance and support from the instructor.

The instructor must provide them with safety, assistance, and a gradual transition to the next tasks. With more experienced skiers, focus is put on technique correction, with exercises being done to correct mistakes and then also learn new techniques.
