Hello, everyone!
We are on the doorstep of the 07/08 snow season and we hope you have caught the shred bug as bad as we at BCSA have! The summer was long and relaxing, and it’s time to start thinking about what you want to get out of your riding this season.
We have taken rider and parent feedback from last season and made some changes to the Development Program creating a complete athletic experience.
If you want to take the step to becoming a competitive and successful snowboarder - then read on to find out what we have to offer you!
WE WANT YOU!
Snowboarders between the ages of 13 and 18.
The Development Team has been designed for snowboarders who have competed in the past and would like to improve not only their riding but their results.
If you have aspirations to one day be a part of the BC Provincial or Canadian National Teams - this is the next step to making these goals come a reality - in a secure and fun environment.
Here is what we can offer you
- Certified coach, with international competitive snowboarding
- Specialized guest coaches for snowboard cross, halfpipe and slopestyle
- Individual goal setting and athlete planning
- Interaction with Provincial Team coaches and athletes
- On-snow coaching at all local competitions
- 40 plus days on-snow training & competing, including a 3 day Spring Break Camp
- Training geared towards your specific discipline(s)
- BCSA Competitive Membership
- Access to sport specialists for physical development and nutrition
The program is based out of Big White Ski Resort, with the majority of training and competitions happening there. However, there are the opportunities to travel throughout BC to attend competitions, such as the Canadian National Championships being hosted by Cypress Mountain (Olympic Snowboard Venue) in Vancouver at the beginning of April.
In order to maximize the effectiveness of the coaches’ time with athletes, the Development Team size is limited to ten (10) participants. We are working closely with Big White Ski Area to ensure that if the Development Team is not right for a young athlete, then the Big White Free-Ride Team is.
If this doesn’t sound like your cup of tea - contact us and decide your own involvement - we are open to individual modifications regarding commitment.
this is what you need to know
A Selection Camp is being held at Big White Ski Resort on Sunday, November 25th.
