Weekly Emails Resume!

This went out to KSC/KMS Program Parents today:

Hi Folks,

The weekend was a HUGE success! I haven't seen that much traffic at Killington since winter! Perhaps people came to VT for the weekend to see the damage as much as anything else...

I'm beginning my weekly barrage of emails with all kinds of friendly reminders for you!

-Program registration is up and running here. Lowest rates are available until 10/31, but why wait? Just follow the link now and register :) If you have questions, just let me know.

-VT vs. Elite Team: I've been getting this question a lot- here's the difference: Elite Team INCLUDES transport to/from all regional contests (USASA), coaching Fridays and Sundays in November (excluding Thanksgiving), coaching every Friday through the season and coaching at USASA Nationals (an extra fee of $400 last season for those that qualified). If your rider is interested in competing in USASA comps and going to Nationals, that alone may justify the additional cost even if the rider can't train on Fridays.

-Pre-season training- I know several of the local shredders are already playing soccer, football and other fall sports. If your athlete isn't training, I'll be happy to send along a training plan, just let me know.

-New Coach- We're happy to welcome new Snowboard Star (formerly called Devos) Coach Wally Campbell. Wally most recently held the position of Snowboard Coordinator/Lead Adaptive Snowboard Instructor for the New England Handicapped Sports Association, NEHSA, based out of Mt Sunapee, NH. Wally has been coaching disabled snowboarders since 1998, including athletes at USASA Nationals. Wally is a super creative and fun guy and he's going to bring a lot to our talented young snowboard stars. Welcome Wally!

-Kaella Ryan will be returning as a coach and will help out where ever needed from Stars on up. She's proven her versatility and I'm excited to have her riding with all the groups! Gillian is also back, as is Evan, rounding out the best coaching group in the history of KSC/KMS!!!

-SPECIAL GUEST COACHES- Dec 27-29, US Snowboard Team riders Benji Farrow (HP, SS) and Brooke Shaw (SBX) will be joining us for training!!!! These talented and driven young athletes will rotate through all the groups and pass on the knowledge and the stoke! Mark it on your calendar and don't miss it!

We're looking into Team edition jackets and hoodies, so don't rush on buying new ones just yet...

As always, check the blog and Facebook page for updates, and never hesitate to email or call with questions!
