Published Fri 30 Jul 2021
Snow Australia's Coaching Fundamentals on-snow practical workshops have been in full swing this winter, with over 100 Alpine, Snowboard and Freestyle coaches taking part in workshops across the major resorts.
The latest opportunity to be announced is an Alpine Coach Workshop to be held at Thredbo on Wednesday August 4. This is the first Coaching Fundamentals workshop on offer that will be open to coaches who are not race club or snowsports school staff.
The lead presenter for this workshop is Christian Geiger from the Thredbo Ski Racing Club. All candidates need to have completed Snow Australia's Coach Fundamentals online module for Alpine Skiing before attending the workshop, and to have minimum Level 2 APSI certification.
The program is part of Snow Academy, the umbrella project for all of Snow Australia's education and training pathway and programs. Coaching Fundamentals is the first level of coaching accreditation to be rolled out under the Snow Academy.
