2019 Alpine Skills Assessment - Registrations Open
Published Fri 05 Apr 2019
The National Alpine Skills Assessment is a Ski & Snowboard Australia initiative dedicated to providing aspiring athletes with a comprehensive understanding of their strengths and opportunities for improvement in relation to the key fundamental skills associated with Alpine skiing.
The National Alpine Skills Assessment is not a test, it’s an assessment that provides valuable feedback for long term development.
The National Alpine Skills Assessment is conducted by elite level coaches who individually assess each athlete. The individualised data collected on each athlete will provide clubs with an evidence-based approach to programming and skill building.
In conjunction with the athletes, the club coaching staff and the National Development Coaches can design program plans to enable athletes quantifiable opportunities to make improvements during the season. This framework enables Interschools athletes, SSA Pathway athletes, coaches and parents the ability to track development over time. The earlier in the season the assessment is conducted the better equipped clubs will be to have an evidence-based approach to designing their programming and developing skill in their athletes.
