3 Why bother...i might know it all already. Coaching is a profession and a career for some and for others it s a weekend job, a hobby, and a fun way to get paid to ski with kids. However, we are all interested in doing it well...and - we aspire to be knowledgeable and up to date and rules change continually! - we desire recognition beyond results which includes promotions and the ability to move within the coaching world in Canada, USA and beyond - we seek remuneration that reflects our experience AND our knowledge - we are professionals - we need to stay CURRENT - small / large programs need to encourage education and updates and communication amongst all of us in order to learn, compare and promote our profession - to be insured, we need to be licensed, and to be licensed, we must attend courses and updates

4 Is there new information or something exciting this year? - Yes and where would you find it after you attend but need more information? Reference material: 1) FIS ICR under alpine tab - rules - quotas - guidelines 2) Alberta Alpine - under resources tab - coaches 3) ACA website - bottom of the page 4) Officials manual under alpine - officials 5) FIS website Precisions and Rules of the FIS Points 6) FIS Rules of Competition Equipment & Markings -

5 What if I don t work with U12 or FIS? Is my age group represented in this course? - the material is general with specifics to all age groups - there is information for all and as you advance in coaching, you will need a broad base of information - content is applicable to all coaches at all levels

6 Areas of Responsibilities in being a Coach 3 Key areas: 1. Represent your athletes in all aspects of the competition to the best of your ability. 2. Assist event organizers and race officials in assuring quality competition that is fair for all competitors 3. Project a professional image to competitors, officials, parents and the skiing public Coaches must accept these responsibilities, but first and foremost they must remember they are there for the competitor.

7 Coach Responsibilities - Successful coaches must have a strong working knowledge and respect for the rules as outlined in the FIS ICR, ACA domestic rules and Alberta Alpine local rules - Part of our responsibilities require that we continue to pursue higher education and knowledge to stay current in our sport in order to offer our athletes the best possible outcomes - Education is presented in many forms - updates, integration with Alberta ski team projects, formal class work and NCCP There are lots of way to stay updated!

8 Rule updates for 2016/17 FIS meetings in June 2016, confirm rules for the Southern Hemisphere. FIS meetings in October 2016, confirm rules for the Northern Hemisphere. - all material and documentation can be found on the FIS website - start to learn where to look by cruising around the fis website

AASA will appoint the TD to the ROC. It is AASA s vision that this series be the primary pathway for U14 athletes advancing into the U16 provincial series.

46 U14- Start Order Seed by peer groups, and use the Sprint Format for start order. Use National Points to create the peer groups Ie 80 athletes broken into 4 groups of 20 athletes. Each group of 20 will rotate to start in position over a 4 run weekend providing equity. The staggered start order causes inequity over the course of a weekend's racing. In a field of 80, the difference in total start positions using staggered starts over 4 races is as high as 76 positions. The variance is obviously larger for bigger fields. Using the sprint format, which has been done in the past including last season, total start positions over 4 races or any even number of races for that matter is identical. When peer groupings are not used racing becomes far less meaningful. If Fast Kid A starts number 2 and Fast Kid B starts number 86 their ability to benchmark against each other in a meaningful way is severely compromised. When peer groupings are not used fast and slow kids are mingled throughout the start order and the risk of overtakes and the associated issues with timing and safety is greatly increased. As we run large fields at U14 and short intervals this is a significant issue.
