An Introduction to Race Volunteering (Level One)
• December 3rd, 2011 - Whistler. (Vancouver dates TBC)

This is the entry-level course. All Parents will find this course an excellent introduction to race volunteering and the racing program as a whole. At Cypress Ski Club we strongly encourage all parents to take this course as a way to both understand how to volunteer on the race course as well as learn what your athlete will be doing during races.

It is an overall introduction to race organization and the various officials’ positions with particular emphasis on timekeeping and gate judging. There are no course prerequisites or required experience.
Course attendance automatically qualifies the participant as Level 1 Alpine Official.

Learning more about Races (Level Two)
• November 26th & 27th, 2011
• 9:00 – 12:00pm (both days)
• Prerequisites – Level One
• Location – WMSC Cabin, Whistler

This level is the second of three officials’ courses and is designed for those who have already taken the Level 1 course and have then obtained the necessary practical experience to qualify for Level 2. Level 2 has been designed as a detailed introduction to the methodology of alpine ski racing, the types of races, rules, points systems as well as preparing officials for the managerial positions of chief of gates judges, chief of course, chief of race, start referee, finish referee and referee (coaches).

The objectives of the course are to develop officials capable of functioning at a carded-level race and to provide a base of experience and knowledge to course participants to allow them to assume greater responsibilities at higher-level races. Most parents who have volunteered for one season find it helpful to then complete their Level 2.

Level 3 - Leading Races (Level Three)
• November 19th & 20th, 2011
• All day
• Prerequisites – Level Two, plus significant leadership experience at races
• Location - Cypress Ski Club Cabin
