NANCY GREENE

The Nancy Greene Ski League (NGSL) is designed to introduce kids aged 5 to 11 to the world of ski racing. The league was inaugurated as a national program shortly after the success of Nancy Greene Raine at the 1968 Grenoble Winter Olympic Games. The main goals of our Nancy Greene programs are to have fun, learn the fundamental skills of ski racing, and to learn the rewards of competing. The racers participate in club, regional and provincial events, where they can apply the skills learned in training. NGSL races are designed to foster the development of the young athletes by providing an environment where camaraderie and fair play are emphasized. The emphasis is on personal progress and reaching each athlete’s personal best.

We will be offering 4 options for the NGSL programs this winter. All NGSL programs will run from mid November to mid March, specific dates are yet to be determined. The programs represent basic training packages at Snow Valley Ski Club, onto which additional training camps (local, mountains and summer) can be added to suit the ability, budget, and level of commitment of the racers and their families.
