OCUP RACE Ontario Cup Racing (OCUP) OCUP Racing The Heights offers our members an opportunity to follow a performance pathway through ski racing at an OCUP level. For 2018/19 The Heights is offering a U14 & U16 performance program. To compete amongst the best age skiers in the Province, this level will focus on preparing athletes to race each week in three disciplines. (Slalom, Giant Slalom, and Super G). What is OCUP? The OCUP is a provincial wide race series that brings together the best racers from across the province and is the highest standard of competition for these age groups in Ontario. The OCUP consists of events specific to U14 & U16 (& up) that align with the train to race ratio of 1:4 ( e.g. 5 competition events would be supported by 20 training sessions, a training session would be equal to 2-3 hrs on snow) as recommended in Alpine Canada s AIM-2-WIN and the N.C.C.P., LTAD documents for each age group. For more information please follow this link; www.canskicoach.org/documents/general/aim2win_en.pdf OCUP Partnership with Glacier Ski Club To be successful in competition at OCUP requires a greater commitment to the sport. Much of the training and racing occurs through the week during the competitive season. The Heights Ski and Country Club has partnered with our neighbour to the north, Glacier Ski Club, to share hill space and coaching resources throughout the winter. This partnership supports our Heights athletes to better prepare to compete at their highest level. Athletes in this program will be required to purchase a Mount St. Louis ski pass in addition to their program fees. Any family looking for information or would like to discuss entering the OCUP program, please contact Brad Taylor, Director of Alpine Operations at btaylor@theheightsofhorseshoe.com or (416)710-9311. 28 I theheights.ski Part 3 - Competitive Snow Sport Program Part 3 - Competitive Snow Sport Program theheights.ski I 29
