RACE TEAM U8 THROUGH U18
Athletes in Race Team are divided in different age group. Children in U8 (8 and under) focus on fundamental skill development as well as athletic and personal growth. Our certified and experienced coaches use various training environments and the latest methodologies to provide the best development opportunities for our athletes. Children in this group are introduced to the sport of ski racing and will participate in the Mini World Cup (MWC) series at Windham. Children are not expected to travel and do not need to be members of U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association and NYSSRA.
Children in U10 and older will focus on advanced alpine racing skill development, fundamentals in skiing, and athletic and personal growth. These groups will often have early morning training throughout the season and thus have start and end times that are fluid. There is coaching provided at qualifying NYSSRA events (Sports Page Cup and MST Cup) up to NY States events. Any events other than USSA regional will not have coaches provided for travel unless prior arrangements are made. Additional fees will apply in these limited circumstances. No FIS coaching or post-season coaching is covered by the program.
