Extended Training

U16 Born 2004 and 2005

This is the first year the athletes compete as “scored” competitors. Athletes are able to earn USSS seed points based on race results and are seeded in start lists based on points rankings. Early season focuses on fundamental ski techniques through structured free skiing. With regional qualifying races, the focus quickly shifts to race tactics and gate training. Majority of training is spent in gates, but structured free skiing sessions are continued throughout the season. Athletes are expected to compete in Eastern PA Regional Races and are eligible to qualify for the U16 PA State Championships. From States, racers are able to able to qualify for the PARA State Team and Eastern Regional Events, including Eastern Championships and Eastern Finals. U16 athletes are allowed to compete in the PA Cup Series with coach’s approval. This program is designed for skiers age 14 and 15 who are interested in advanced racing techniques and plan to enter sanctioned races in Pennsylvania. Previous race training is not required but recommended.
