A good Article for reading

If you have not read this yet, Eric larsen had a nice article in Ski Racing magazine. Here is the link: A day in the life of a race parent

Parent expectation policy

 

 

 

Parent expectations with regards to racing/training venu

 

1. The race/train venue is the “athlete’s sanctuary”. Parents are expected to remain

outside of the venue. Much the same as a hockey game or most any sporting event,

parents are welcomed to enjoy the event from viewing areas that do not interfere with

the athletes. Generally speaking, when our athletes are inside the “fences” parents are

expected to remain on the outside looking in.

 

2. In the event that a parent is a volunteer or worker for the race, the parent should put

the event as their top priority. Undoubtedly, our events do not happen without parent

involvement and we do not want to discourage parents from being involved at all.

However, please do not use this as a way to gain access to their sanctuary!!

 

3. Start areas are off limits to parents. This is critical to letting the coaches do the coaching.

Athletes perform their best when they have the ability to clearly focus on the task at

hand. The transportation of clothing from the start is the responsibility of the coaches.

 

4. Course inspection is off limits to parents: Coaches are responsible for inspection

techniques of their athletes. Athletes will be informed of their responsibilities as they

pertain to inspection. Again this is critical to their long term success.

 

5. Course reports. Coaches are responsible for all information as it pertains to course

conditions, tactics, times, etc. .. We ask that parents do not bring their own radios

or use cell phones to relay information to their children. If this becomes an issue, we

reserve the right to remove radios and or cell phones from the athletes.

 

6. Ski prep: All work is to be completed prior to the event (i.e. sharpening, waxing, overlays, etc).

Please remember, the start area is a parent free zone. Coaches are responsible for additional

needs as they see fit.

7. It will be the coaches responsibility to handle all aspects of race regulations. This includes but is

not limited to DSQ’s, reruns, interference, equipment specs, etc.

8. The most important expectations: Have fun, support, and enjoy your children in their participation of a great sport!
