Training
The Winter Training Programme (weather permitting) will commence the weekend of Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th January 2011
1. Details about each weekend`s training will be posted on the website on the preceding Thursday evening. You should also check the website again on Friday evening in the unlikely event of any last minute change to the arrangements.
2. All Trainees should meet at the Meeting Point by no later than 8.45 a.m with the aim being to head off to the slopes as soon as possible thereafter. All Trainees will be returned to the same place at the end of Training at around 3.15 p.m/3.30p.m. The Meeting Point will be by the Picnic tables outside the shop at the Day Lodge, i.e opposite the main entrance to the Funicular.
3. In the event that Training has to be curtailed for whatever reason, e.g weather, the parent(s) is/are responsible for ensuring that their child(ren) is/are picked up from the Meeting Point. It is therefore vital that a Parent or nominated person remains on the hill throughout the day. We would also ask that you leave a contact telephone number with your child`s Coach so that he/she can contact you in an emergency.
4. All Trainees MUST wear a Helmet. If you turn up without a Helmet you will NOT be allowed to train.
5. Alll Trainees must come with a well stocked packed lunch. This makes it easier for the Coaches by ensuring that the Groups remain together. Normally the Coaches allow for two breaks, a drinks stop and lunch break. Times of these breaks are at the Coaches` discretion.
6. At the start of the season we will be using the T- Bar in the Daylodge for Lunch stops/drinks stops pending clarification on our being able to access the Sheiling and Race Office.
7. Any child that has a medical condition that we should be aware of should speak to the Coach or Coaching Convenor prior to the first day of training. Needless to say the information will be treated in the strictest confidence.
8. From time to time a member of the Committee or one of the Coaches may wish to photograph or video record for training purposes. If any parents object to their child(ren) being photographed or recorded can they please speak to the Coaching Convenor otherwise it will be assumed that there is no objection.
9. If your child(ren) is/are unable to train for any reason can you please notify the Coach or email kerrmcw@aol.com with as much prior notice as possible.
Coaching and membership application forms are available for download on the Membership page.
