PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Our seasonal program provides structure to the season with individual goal setting and events to focus progression and enjoy the results.
Session Focus | Date | Time | Where | What |
---|---|---|---|---|
Welcome Event | t.b.c | Evening | Indoor t.b.c | We will host an interactive welcome event with the athletes, coaches & families. A great event to set up the first on-snow session for success. |
Mini Futures Session | Week 1 & 2 | 08:30 – 12:30 | Hirafu | Season warm-up, each mini athlete will be assessed and placed in the correct group to match their current ability and ages. The coach will work on building solid group dynamics and rapport with the athletes. |
Mini Futures Session | Week 3 to 8 | 08:30 – 12:30 | Hirafu | Focus on developing a sense of group belonging and understanding the safety protocol on the mountain. Lots of games to achieve a balanced stance on different terrains and conditions to get us onto the next level. |
Mid Season Point | 8 February | – | On Slope | This is a great opportunity to check with the coach where the athlete is on their progression and how they are doing to achieve the athlete’s goals. Make sure to ask your coach to update the progression book! |
Futures Session | Week 9 – 12 | 08:30 – 12:30 | Hirafu | The sun is out most often, and it is time to see all the achievements of the season. Time for the groups to go exploring new slopes and lifts or even adventuring on the trees, snowpark, and perhaps some off-piste! |
