VOLUNTEERS

If you have spent any time on the hill you know that many parents are required to run a race. If you are already a committed volunteer you know how satisfying it really is to be involved in these events with the racers and the teams of other parents who are running the races. Some of us also recognize we don't know as much as we would like to know about how races happen, or don't have enough understanding or experience to get beyond slipping the course or tending a gate.

Level I Introductory Information

This introductory session outlines the sport of alpine ski racing and is the place to begin. Whether you are a parent of a racer or a volunteer looking to build experience for the Canada Games in 2011 you will find this course enjoyable and informative.

The course includes presentations, hands-on experiences, ample time for questions and discussions, and practice during a mock race (indoors). More in-depth information covers specifics that will prepare you to take the role of Gate Judge, Manual Timer, Starter, Race Office Assistant or Course Crew during races.

All parents of ski racers are encouraged to attend a Level One course early in the season in order to better understand their young racer's program, and to prepare themselves for being involved during races.

Level One courses will take place in the Port Greville Room with dates to be announced.
