Race Club
Learn to race, from age 4
Racing is a great way to try something new and challenging with your skiing. Together with Essex Ski Racing Club we combine resources to create a programme designed for alpine skiers of all ability levels, age 4 and up, who want to build the skills needed to compete and become the best they can.
Who can join
All skiers who have the ability to ski in control from the top of our main slope and have a desire to improve their skills are welcome to join our coaching programme.
With over 40 years of competitive coaching experience at all levels and a low coach to athlete ratio, we can help any aspiring athlete develop their skills and build competitive experience in alpine ski racing.
How we coach
Our coaching sessions strive to promote a love for skiing and a spirit of competition, creating an environment that encourages everyone to be motivated and improve their ability level. Our philosophy is the long term development of young athletes, and we constantly explore new ways of creating excitement. Together our goal is to help competitors become the best that they can possibly be.
Our coaching system places its emphasis on free skiing, overall comfort, ability and confidence on skis in a variety of conditions, technique and technical consistency. We do this by running three training sessions per week aimed at different ability levels, with a focus on developing and improving technical and tactical skills both in and out of a race course, using a fundamentals based ski curriculum.
Not yet skiing in control from the top of the main slope? Start with the Children's Ski Morning or private lessons.
