ELIGIBILITY
Athletes must be 12 or 13 years of age as of December 31st of the current season to be eligible for the U14 racing program.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The U14 program is aimed at providing 12 and 13 year old athletes the FUNdamentals of skiing as they progress into the Learn to Train and Learn to Race phases of development. Our program incorporates the ACA SnowStars program, a 7-step program which guides children, parents, and coaches through appropriate skill progression. U14 competitive events are focused on the development of ski racing skills while beginning to promote performance on demand. Athletes will race in SL and GS events.
We are in the process of looking into Dryland Pre-Season Training. If we are able to offer Dryland pre-season training , it will be set up as a registration with its own cost.
On-snow activities start with a 4-day Christmas camp from December 27th to 30th, 2023 where skiers get reacquainted with snow training, working both on and off the course. Christmas camp runs from 9am to 3pm, with a one-hour unsupervised lunch break. Please note that camp dates and hours may be reduced should weather and snow conditions create an unsafe environment or limit terrain availability. Parents and guardians are required to be on-site during training.
ADDITIONAL AWAY RACES
U14 racers may be able to opt in and participate in some additional away races, approved by Brimacombe Racing. Please note there is an additional fee per additional race and that eligibility is dependent on weather conditions and the hosting club’s race quota criteria. You will be notified when registration for additional races is open. Parents or guardians must be on-site at away races
FULL DAY
Our regular season is a 9-week full-day program, Saturday & Sunday 9am to 3pm with a one-hour unsupervised lunch. There are no prerequisites. Racers will train as a team at our home hill and will race at home and at neighbouring ski clubs in 4 fun-focussed race days. These races will include a combination of Slalom, GS, and Kombi. The program includes Christmas camp and an end of year banquet.
