NANCY GREENE SKI LEAGUE The Nancy Greene Ski League is the "FUNdamental" stage of ski racing for children 5 - 10 years of age. During this time they will be introduced to basic skiing techniques and skills, develop the ABC'S (agility, balance, coordination, strength /speed) in as many different snow conditions and terrains as possible and most of all, have fun on skis. Each year the children participate within their club in team and individual competitions. These events encourage new friendships in a fun and friendly environment while demonstrating the skills developed in the Nancy Greene Ski League program sponsored by Rio Tinto Alcan. The club uses the Husky Snow Stars program as a skill development tool for young skiers. This seven-step program will guide the child, coach, and parent through a progression that is aligned with the Long Term Athlete Development Plan (AIM 2 WIN)... The goal of Husky Snow Stars is to provide a solid foundation and knowledge base – physical, technical, tactical and mental – upon which to build children’s athletic abilities.

DEVELOPING SKILLS FOR LIFE
Children who are physically educated feel confident. They are encouraged to build confidence and skills through competitive and recreational sport activity. They will enjoy overall health benefits by developing greater physical literacy, which encourages them to be more physically active throughout their lives. Increased activity reverses the current trends in childhood and adult obesity and cardiovascular disease. Skiing is a life-long sport that is practiced by people of every age, shape, size, ethnicity and level of ability, but skiing skills are not the only benefits of this ski program. In addition, the children will learn:

• Ski safety
  
• Cooperation
  
• Independence
  
• Listening skills
  
• Self-confidence
  
• Goal-setting
  
• Group/peer learning
  
• Task-focused activities
  

* Costs include: $56 BC Alpine Racer Membership, $54 BC Alpine Parent Membership, $10 Zone Assessment.
