About the Northern BC Freestyle Club
The club is dedicated to fostering fun, learning, and excellence in non-competitive and competitive freestyle skiing in our region. Freestyle disciplines including aerials, halfpipe, moguls, slopestyle/big air, and freeride (big mountain faces). Our club focuses on slopestyle/big air (park skiing and big air) and moguls, for which we access to terrain, facilities, and coaching. We are sanctioned and operate according to Freestyle BC, our Provincial Sport Organization, and Freestyle Canada, our National Sport Organization. We teach freestyle skiing to participants with sufficient basic downhill skiing ability (in control skiing parallel on blue trails), which we continue developing in Fundamentalz and Freestylerz programs. Our coaching develops technical skiing and specific freestyle abilities towards competition and long-term sport for life.
We expect our coaches, athletes, and parents to:
Volunteering
If you're interested in helping out with the club, please reach out to us at [email protected]
Volunteering Requirement (to come as club develops).
Currently, parents of all our athletes are actively involved supporting and growing the club. In the future, we may start requiring parent/guardian volunteer hours as our need for support grows. Following the practice in most other sports, we will require a parent/guardian of every club athlete to contribute to the smooth operation of the club and its events by volunteering. Specifically, we will require a minimum X volunteer hours for each registered athlete. We will use a volunteer bond of $X (per athlete), refunded at the end of the season once volunteer hours have been completed. Parents/guardians wishing to "opt out" may simply pay the $X fee (per athlete). Driving to and from the ski hills is not included.
Volunteer activities can involve…
We expect our coaches, athletes, and parents to:
- Uphold a culture of safety and respect on and off the hill
- Create an environment that is encouraging, fun, and supportive for everyone
- Refrain from and actively counter bullying or harassment when it’s encountered
- Be positive, do the best they can, learn from mistakes, and celebrate success
