Trainer guidlines
For the trainers a trainer guideline has been compiled that can assist in providing training. For the avid skater it may be interesting to read this through. The guideline can be downloaded here, they are in Dutch however. This has been done by the Commissioner of Training 2013/2014 Daniëlle van Dam.
