Use of modern teaching equipment and innovative organizational form of ski training

This paper analyses use of modern teaching aids and innovative organizational form of ski training. An innovative form of ski training, the so-called „circus training“ and modern teaching aids shows on a significant efficiency of the time spent on skis in children at primary school age. The paper presents possibilities to increase personal enjoyment on skis and efficiency of the acquisition of basic skiing skills realized in an atypical way. This pilot study showed that almost three quarters of beginner skiers responded that they preferred activities based on the principle of circus training rather than a traditional „snake formation“. The children participants also responded that they preferred use of teaching aids on the slope.
