CYPRESS SKI CLUB – U8/U10
UNDER 8/UNDER 10 ALPINE SKIERS
Inspiring Skiers for Life
Under 8/Under 10
This is the stage when children will learn skier’s essentials. The key focus is to learn how to move,developing overall movement skills for all sports. Critical windows of trainability at this age group include general athletic development, speed of movement, agility and coordination. This program helps to develop speed control and skier confidence on a variety of terrain.
Children entering this program need to have basic skiing ability on a green run and be able to load the chairlift by themselves. They are grouped according to skill level and age on the first day. Adjustments to the groups are done throughout the season to acknowledge skills improvements.
Children are thus kept challenged and motivated. This age group participates in events that focus on skills rather than actual racing. Three or four events are scheduled during the season, and participation isoptional.
By the end of the season, children should have developed self-confidence, confidence to ski fast, andconfidence in skiing all terrain. Positive reinforcement and thinking are fundamental tools to helpchildren achieve success. Twice during the season, in mid-February and April, progress reports will be issued, based on a standardized assessment tool that is implemented by all coaches working at CypressSki Club.
