Learning to Ski with a handicap
   
everyone
who has the use of 2 of his 4 limbs,
can learn to ski
Hundreds of physically handicapped people have been taught by Poly-Aktief to ski in a method suitable to their abilities and countless volunteers and instructors have been trained by Poly-Aktief.
Poly-Aktief was begun because there was scarcely any possibility for people with a handicap to learn to ski.
In the meantime, Poly-Aktief has become one of the most important organisations in Europe.
Poly-Aktief offers training possibilities with new techniques to learn to ski.
In addition, Poly-Aktief offers a huge assortment of ski materials in almost every size.
These materials are constantly being updated to the most modern requirements.
Poly-Aktief is the only ski organisation for the handicapped affiliated
with the Netherlands Ski Association,
the Netherlands Association for Accessible Sports (NEBAS/NSG),
and participates in the European Slide project.
UNIQUE POSSIBILITY FOR SPORTING PEOPLE
WITH A HANDICAP
TO LEARN TO SKI

The lessons are given by experienced, specially trained instructors.
You learn to ski independently within a few days, during one of our group trips or arrangements in the real snow in Austria. Experience has taught us that people under expert leadership in the snow, regardless of their talent, generally learn to ski independently in a mono-sit, sleigh-skiing or Snow-Surfing within 3 days.
Crutch-guided skiing generally takes a little longer, also regardless of talent.

We offer the participant;

  • Lessons for beginners and advanced
  • You receive lessons from specially trained and certified instructors
  • the use of the most modern ski material
  • Classical instruction with a very personal approach and guidance
  • We give instruction in various techniques, suited as much as possible to the leveof the student

We ask from the participant;

  • A reasonable amount of "general daily living" independence
  • the use of, or a reasonable control over, two of the four limbs
  • Perseverance
