Saturday, August 6, 2011. USA Luge Slider Search on Saturday at Clinton Community College. USA Luge coaches and athletes teach youngsters the basics of riding a luge sled, including position, steering and stopping. Armed with the basics, the young athletes make several runs down a paved street on wheeled sleds. Finally, the youngsters measure their physical skills through a battery of fitness tests. Those who show the most promise at the clinics are invited to train in Lake Placid or Park City, Utah. They also will be considered for the 2010-11 USA Luge development team.
