The Nancy Greene Ski League (NG) is designed to introduce kids aged 4 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 Olympics Game. The main goals of our NG 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. NG 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 NG programs this winter. All NG programs will run from November to March, specific dates yet to be determined. The programs represent basic training packages at Snow Valley 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.
