This program is for the younger riders who are serious about their snowboarding and exhibit a high level of dedication to their personal riding improvement. Training in all competitive disciplines (giant slalom, slalom, snowboardcross, slopestyle, rail jam and halfpipe) will be offered. Competition is optional. Participation in local Community Jams and regional USASA events is encouraged. Riders will work with coaches on a clear path in either racing or freestyle disciplines and specific discipline training will be provided though the overall program remains well-rounded. Riders will work with coaches to establish a competition schedule for the season to achieve an optimal balance between training and events. There is a short break in the schedule between fall dryland training and the start of on-snow training.

If your athlete is not participating in other fall sports, check out our additional Junior Snowboard Fall Dryland (11-13) and Fall Skateboard Camp for additional preseason training.
