July 28, 2010 – A strong coaching system is the backbone of any national ski program, and developing the skills of up-and-coming coaches is just as important as that of up-and-coming athletes. Towards that end, USSA has announced dates and contact info for U.S. Ski Team-approved technique clinics.
These clinics are designed to teach the fundamentals of technique and can be used towards achieving USSA Level 100 Coaches Certification – for the schedule and contacts click HERE.
