YOUTH PROGRAMS

The Skill Development Programs (SDP) is for children from 5 to 16 years of age. It follows the Cross Country BC youth skills program and the Long-term Athlete Development Program guidelines set out by Sport Canada. The club offers programs for every stage: from the initial Bunny Rabbit program that introduces a cross country ski experience that will: help children develop a positive self-image; be fun; provide children an opportunity to make ski-friends; develop their skills; and help develop an awareness and appreciation of our natural environment, to the Development Program for skiers who are keen to ski fast, race, and compete.

Children enrolled in the program receive a toque or buff (depending on the age of the child) from Cross Country BC.

Volunteers

We are a community club and the success of our programs and events is built on parent and guardian participation. There are many roles available for volunteers. We welcome volunteers in any role, from coaching to helping at an event during the practices or Teck Coast Cup Events. Parents and guardians will be asked to participate in 2 sessions or at a club event during the winter.t.
