PCSS offers the following summer Alpine programs.
NEW THIS SEASON ~ While all our Alpine groups participate in Fall dryland conditioning programs, we wanted to extend our summer conditioning programming to our U14 Athletes as a way to get a jump on the conditioning period. We understand and encourage our athletes at this age to get involved in a multitude of other sports and activities. However, It is also an added benefit to provide an educational period on the dryland movement patterns so that when this age group gets to the fall, they fully comprehend what will be asked of them and can really take advantage of the sessions. The Summer dryland period will be broken into two 5-week sessions to accommodate other programs and sports each athlete participates in. Day 1 of each week will focus on weight room education with lifting techniques and proper progressions. Day 2 of each week will consist of fieldwork, including agilities and other mobilities to ensure a solid range of motion in the lower extremities. Warm-up and cool-down will consist of games and core strengthening routines, which is similar to our oldest athletic groups.
All Athletes must be current with their '23/'24 USSS Membership to gain access to the COE.
Dryland is an essential off-season training component for high-level ski racers. While Dryland for our U16 Athletes has been an optional addon with our winter programming, NEW FOR THE 2023/24 Season, our Summer program becomes a mandatory requirement similar to our FIS age group. The physiological focus will include strength, agility, and aerobic conditioning exercises. Our conditioning programs are designed to best prepare the athlete for the specific forces and demands of ski racing and reduce the relative risk of injury.
