SKI RACING AND FUN FOR AGES 6 - 11

Every Sunday from Noon to 3 pm. January 4, 2009 to March Break

The ALCAN Nancy Greene Ski League is the "FUNdamental" stage in ski racing for children between 6 - 11 years of age. During this time they will be introduced to basic skiing techniques and skills, develop the ABC's (agility, balance, coordination, strength /speed) in as many different snow conditions and terrain as possible and most of all have fun on skis. Each year the children participate within their club or at a provincial level in team and individual competitions. These events encourage new friendships in a fun and friendly environment while demonstrating the skills developed in the Alcan Nancy Greene Ski League.

The Snow Stars program - a seven step skills progression program for children at this age level - supplements the Alcan Nancy Greene Ski League and offers a fun version to learning the skills of skiing and eventually ski racing. The Snow Stars program is delivered to all BC clubs in the form of the following: Coaches Manual, Parents Handbook, Stickers and Report Cards, National Team Trading Cards, National Team Annual Poster.
