Draft Selection Criteria - Coast Mountain Sports Invite - Meeting after Squad Tuesday

Hello everyone, please find some miscellaneous information.

The first draft of the Selection Criteria for this year is ready for review. There will be a meeting on September 26 at 6 pm in the Race Office to review the document and answer any questions athletes or parents may have.


There will be an opportunity to attend a Coast Mountain Sports Squad night on Oct. 1 to purchase equipment if you still have some needs.


Finally, Jan Downing would like to meet the Blue Squad skiers on Tuesday after practice to talk about a community camp in Nov. that could involve Blue Squad skiers.

I would like to provide them with the opportunity to get involved as youth coaches for the Development Camp for Communities - Nov. 23-24.  Right now the timeline is 10am start on saturday and a wrap up by 1pm on sunday.  There will be non-skiing activities such as CGC, feasting, etc.  

They would still have the opportunity to train on the saturday morning.

I am applying for youth mentorship funding but won't know until Nov. 1st if I can pay them.   This opportunity will provide valuable experience in leadership, coaching, supervision as well as developing a Big Heart!   But it also may be an opportunity to feed your athlete account - sadly no promises.

I would be happy to meet with any interested Blue Squaders after training on Sept 17

Thanks,
Jan

Take care. Alain

PS. Reminder that we will start roller skiing this Saturday. Meet at 11 am at the RS container
