Lead Athlete Program

Lead Athlete program
Training the next generation of BWF leaders.

The BWF Lead Athlete Program is designed for athletes 14-15yrs old that are not looking to pursue the competitive pathway.  BWF is always looking for coaches to join our team and this program will provide personal ski improvement, on snow experience as tail gunners, an  the option to hit the Airbag and become a member of our Judges panel for local competitions.

We ask for a commitment of 5 days on snow, with optional extra days for shadowing, airbag, judging and more.

The Lead Athlete Program provides an opportunity for skiers and snowboards to continue developing their personal skills while checking out what coaching a group of athletes on the mountain is like.  Included in this program is a FUNdamentalz ski coaching course or Comp Intro Snowboard coaching course.  The athletes can participate in this course at age 15 and will be evaluated by our staff to become certified coaches when they turn 16.

 

Ages: 14-15
Focus: Personal skill development and working with athletes experience.
