Selection

Selection camp on snow from April 1st to 3rd 2022

Every year, the Mont-Tremblant Ski Club organizes a selection process for young people wishing to join the Racing Club. Due to the limited number of places available, we are obliged to make selections.

Two objectives govern us:
To select youth who demonstrate competitive ability and developmental potential;
To make the selection process a constructive learning tool for the youth.

The evaluation will be done in 2 steps:

Ongoing ski evaluation at a 3-day camp (2 days mandatory)
Evaluation of skiing skills in various situations and terrain (beginner to expert)
Basic technique;
Athletic ability in skiing
Evaluation of competitive skills
Demonstrates interest in learning
Demonstrates commitment to training
Demonstrates an ability to manage risk,

Physical tests at the multi-sport field – The tests used are the Mini Ironman for 9-10 year olds and the Ironman JR for 11+ year olds (date to be determined)
Assessment of physical abilities such as:
Physical endurance;
Speed of movement;
Balance, coordination and flexibility.

For each test, the child will receive a descriptive evaluation of his/her performance.
Final selections will be announced by email to parents one week after the final selection stage.
In the case of non-selection, a detailed letter of explanation will be sent to the parents.
We sincerely hope that this selection process will be constructive for each of the young people interested in the Mont-Tremblant Ski Club.
