Development Team
The focus of the “Development” Team will be on beginning racing techniques and training. Skiing fundamentals and developing a strong skiing foundation will be emphasized. All beginning racers should be able to ski and ride the lifts by themselves. They should be able to perform simple turning and stopping techniques. The Development Team is geared for children ages 6 thru 12 years of age. The Development Team will practice on Saturday mornings from 9:30 AM-12 Noon and 1 PM – 3 PM. This program will encourage each racer to participate in locally sponsored races at Norway Mountain, called the Junior World Cup Races on specified Saturday afternoons throughout the winter. Development Team Members may attend Christmas Camp morning training sessions. This year, racers may choose afternoon sessions for an additional $25.

This program is formed to challenge each racer to become better fundamentally and to gain a better understanding of race tactics and techniques. These racers will be encouraged to participate in CEC Challenge Races at Norway Mountain. We are also looking doing some regional races with other ski teams.

This program is designed for the USSA racer who is interested in being coached and trained during the weekends. This racer will receive coaching at all Region II events and travel to a number of various events that will be scheduled during the season. The overall goal for this program will be for each athlete to increase his/her skiing fundamentals, along with increased understanding of race tactics and techniques. These athletes are working toward making the U.S. Junior Olympic Team.

"A" Team
This program is for our top racers. The "A" Team is an honor team that racers qualify for by making the Mid-AM FIS Series, winning a High School meet, making the State of Michigan or Wisconsin All-State Team, and/or by winning a medal at the USSA Junior Olympics. These racers are our top-level racers who train weeknights and weekends. A lot of travel is involved and a high level of commitment is required to ski at this level. Many in this program are working towards a goal, such as skiing at the collegian level and/or making the U.S. Ski Team. Racers will be of top ability level.
