Certified coaching emphasizes physical preparation and technical skills for general free skiing, slalom, giant slalom, super G and SG racing. In this program, each athlete becomes part of a national points system to measure their performance. Training begins in the fall with dry land training prior to the season. The program is divided into age categories: K1 (11-12) K2 (13-14) J - (15-18) There is also a K-Star program for skiers registered in the Nancy Greene program who may be thinking of continuing into K1.
