E.S.SKI A. TEAM AND TRAINING SQUADS
SELECTION for E.S.SKI A. Teams and Squads is made in the autumn each year, after the National Championships. Different criteria will apply according to which group a skier is being considered for, but the following is the basis:
1. Racing in the E.S.SKI A. Championships as a member of a school team.
2. Attendance at previous competitions and trainings, attitude, behaviour and progress.
3. Race results on snow and plastic.
4. Age.
JUNIOR SQUAD
This comprises about 25 skiers and is aimed mainly at ten to twelve year olds. The objective is to provide a good foundation training which concentrates on improving all round technique and starting race training on snow. The 2010 Squad will be based in Pitztal, Austria, where several very successful trainings have been held.
E.S.SKI A. SQUADS
These comprise about 20 skiers. The objectives are to provide high quality training concentrating on developing young racers in a group of a high standard, and to prepare teams for the World Schools' Championships. The two 2010 trainings will be based in Geilo, Norway, where opportunities for speed training are particularly good, and which has seen some very successful past trainings.
WORLD SCHOOLS' CHAMPIONSHIPS
These are held under the jurisdiction of the International School Sport Federation (I.S.F.) and can only be entered by National School Sports Associations in membership of the National Council for School Sport (N.C.S.S.). In most sports the National Associations are represented by 'Champion Schools', but in the ski competitions held in alternate years there are different rules for countries considered to be Lowland countries. England is a Lowland country and can therefore be represented by a composite team of 10 girls and 10 boys, in two age groups, drawn from different schools which have competed in the National Championships. It is E.S.SKI A.’s policy that Teams should be selected from the previous year’s Squad Training groups.
E.S.SKI A. has sent teams to the events held in Sweden (1985, 1989, 2005), France (1991, 2001, 2008), Canada (1993), Italy (1995), Germany (1997), the Czech Republic (1999), Austria (2003) and Andorra (2007).
