u12 RACE

program description

Ages: U12: Year of birth 2009-2010

Skill Development/Focus: Continued development of sound ski and race fundamentals by skiing a variety of terrain and through drills that refine linked, carved turns. Athletes will be introduced and refine tactical race skills such as gate blocking, line selection, course inspection, and terrain anticipation. Coaches will use a variety of course sets, conditions and terrain to teach athletes to adapt to different situations. Athletes will ski all areas of the mountain including hike-to areas and terrain park.

Races: Athletes are strongly encouraged to compete in at least 3 races per winter. USSA competitor's license required. Club Series races also offer lots of race experience, are inexpensive to enter, and do not require USSA license.

Schedule/Sessions:
Full Race team starts December 5, 2020 at Grand Targhee and runs through March 28, 2021.  Note that the TVSEF alpine race team will be on snow as soon as Grand Targhee Resort opens and will continue with training as the snow conditions allow.  Training will be capped at 20 weeks in total.

Program Fees:  $1,900
